Ahli youngster Afroto is looking forward to establishing his first team place with the Red Devils, following Egypt's embarrassing exit from the U-20 World Cup. The midfield wizard raised eyebrows with his dazzling skills at the World Cup, despite Egypt's poor campaign on home soil. Afroto, who particularly appeared to be crying in agony after the 2-0 defeat to Costa Rica, is now willing to focus on his future with Ahli. "I still have two years remaining in my contract with Ahli and I hope to stay because I have goals to achieve here," Afroto said in an interview with Ahli's official site. "It is true I received a number of offers to play abroad, but I am under Ahli's command, and personally, I want to stay. "I am prepared to wait for my chance with the first team and if I managed to establish my place, playing abroad will be much easier.
