Zamalek SC president Mortada Mansour announced on Tuesday the signing of Morocco striker Achraf Bencharki.

"Bencharki signed a three-year contract with Zamalek," Mansour said.

"The 24-year-old forward has great potential. We finished the negotiations during a secret meeting in Morocco and the player will land in Cairo on Wednesday," Zamalek president added.

"We have also signed four other players and the announcement will be after Al-Ahly match," he revealed.

Mansour added that the defender Islam Gamal was sold to Al-Ittihad Alexandria while midfielder Ahmed Refaat and the Ivorian forward Razak Sessi went on loan to the same club.

The White Knights' president also revealed that forward Hamid Ahadad might be gone on loan or be included in a swap deal.

"I have reached an agreement with Egyptian Media Group to launch Zamalek's official channel on December," Mansour noted.
