The Egyptian international joined the Baggies Monday in a season-long loan for a reported fee of one million Euros. The deal includes an option for West Brom to make the switch permanent for the price of one million Euros.

West Brom, who usually adopt an ultra-defensive strategy under manager Tony Pulis, finished 10th in the Premier League last season.
