Albion eyeing Egyptian star Ahmed Al-Muhammadi

Albion are set to move for Egypt international wideman Ahmed Al-Muhammadi.

The Baggies have lodged their interest in 22-year-old Al-Muhammadi and his Egyptian club, ENPPI, are reportedly ready to let him leave on loan with a view to a permanent deal.

Al-Muhammadi is keen on a move to England and has already spent time on trial with Blackburn and Sunderland. The Black Cats are thought to be considering a move to sign him.

Reports in Egypt suggest the player could even travel to England for talks this week.

Al-Muhammadi, who can play at right-back or as a wide midfielder, has played 38 times for Egypt and was a regular in the World Cup 2010 qualifying campaign.
