Zamalek have reached an agreement with Military Production over a part-exchange deal that will see Abou Kone join the Cairo club and duo Ahmed Abdul-Raouf and Ahmed Fathi 'Bougi' move in the opposite direction. The White Knights will pay $300,000 to acquire the Ivorian striker's services permanently, whereas both youngsters will move to the military outfit on loan till the season's end. "Kone will arrive at Zamalek on Sunday to put pen to paper," Zamalek marketing director Khaled Refaat told FilGoal.com. Zamalek have been seeking to beef up their frontline since Amr Zaki's departure to Hull City. Mido is also expected to return to Europe this winter. The 11-time Egyptian champions opted for Kone after their attempt to land Syrian hitman Abdul-Fattah Al-Agha doomed to failure. Kone, 28, has been a Zamalek target since Hossam Hassan took the team's helm. They first refused to pay his $500,000 release clause till they coaxed Production into reducing the figure.
