Zamalek are on the verge of signing Syrian striker Abdul-Fattah Al-Agha from Ittihad (Aleppo), Whites' spokesman Sabri Serag said. "The deal has yet to be completed, but the player is close to joining Zamalek," Serag told FilGoal.com. Zamalek are looking for a striker in the winter break to cover for Egypt hitman Amr Zaki, who joined Hull City on loan this week. In addition to Zaki's departure, on-loan Middlesbrough forward Mido is also on his way out of the Cairo club. Al-Agha, 23, has been part of the Syria setup since 2004, scoring three international goals for the Asian minnows.
