Will Alexander Jakobson shine with Zamalek?
Zamalek signed Egyptian-Danish forward Amir Adel, also known as Alexander Jakobson, on a free transfer for four seasons.
[xyz-ihs snippet=”In-article-Ad”] The 26-year-old winger was released from his Norwegian club Sarpsborg last October, staying without a club until the Whites decided to include him ahead of the new season.
Adel, who was named The Danish Ronaldinho for his skills and looks — which are similar to those of the Brazilian legend Ronaldinho El-Gaucho, played for many European clubs in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden; the biggest club he had been a part of was the Dutch famous PSV Eindhoven, but he only played in their youth squads.
[xyz-ihs snippet=”outbrain-in-article”]Adel scored 20 goals in his entire career after playing a total of 168 games. He has also played, and won, with the young Pharaohs the U-20 African Cup of Nations in 2013.
The Danish Ronaldinho played in the Egyptian national team in only one game, a friendly against Togo in 2017 under the lead of Argentinean Coach Hector Cuper.
[xyz-ihs snippet=”In-article-Ad”]Adel is Zamalek’s second new transfer after they have signed the Tunisian full-back Hamza Mathlouthi, in addition to ending the loan of both Mohamed Ashraf and the Moroccan winger Hamid Ahadad.
