A European-Palestinian Talent Close to Wearing the Zamalek Jersey
Zamalek is close to signing Adam El-Kaid, the left winger from Swedish club Breda, in a free transfer deal to strengthen the squad.
Zamalek Club is intensifying its efforts to finalize the signing of left winger Adam El-Kaid, a player for Swedish club Breda, as part of the management’s plan to strengthen the first team with promising young talents capable of making a difference in the coming seasons.
A well-informed source within the club confirmed that the player is close to wearing the Zamalek jersey in a free transfer deal, following the expiration of his contract with his Swedish team at the end of the current season. This move aligns with the new strategy set by the club’s planning committee, which aims to reduce the average age of the squad and inject new blood capable of competing both domestically and in Africa.
The source added that recent days have witnessed intensive communication between the player and his agent on one side, and Ahmed Hossam “Mido,” a member of the planning committee, on the other. Several meetings were held, resulting in a near-final agreement on the deal’s terms, with full coordination from John Edward, the club’s sporting director, who is closely monitoring the club’s new signings.
El-Kaid has reportedly shown a clear desire to join Zamalek, expressing his readiness to embark on a new professional experience in the Egyptian Premier League, especially given the club’s high status, wide fanbase, and supportive environment that fosters success and strong performances.
Adam Hamza Jihad Ahmed El-Kaid, born on March 2, 2002, holds both Palestinian and Swedish nationalities. He plays primarily as a left winger and is known for his technical skills and notable speed, which have made him one of the standout talents scouted by the club’s football officials. The player has previously played for Dutch club NAC Breda and hopes that his next step with Zamalek will be a gateway to greater recognition at both the Arab and African levels.
This signing is part of the management’s vision to build a strong team based on a blend of youth and experience—capable of restoring the club’s glory and competing for all championships in the years ahead.
