Transfers: Premier League clubs on Egyptian “Trezeguet” alert
Mahmoud Hassan nicknamed after the French striker, David Trezeguet, is in the hot red form on loan at the Turkish side, Kasimpasa from Anderlecht. Sources to ESPN informed that Everton, Leicester City, and Burnley have sent scouts to watch the 23-year-old play as the clubs are on the lookout to bolster their attacking options this summer. Hassan has scored 14 goals for Kasimpasa and registered five assists. With one year remaining on his contract, the English Premier League clubs would be very optimistic of landing him for a bargain price.
‘Trezeguet’ was also instrumental in Egypt’s successful world cup campaign, playing on the opposite wing of imminent Ballon d’Or candidate, Mohamed Salah. He will most likely follow his countryman to England, more so if he impresses at next month’s FIFA World Cup Finals in Russia.
