Liverpool have today entered the race to sign Amr Zaki, who is currently on loan at Wigan Athletic. The Egyptian striker has made an immediate impact in the Premier League, scoring an impressive seven goals in just eight games including a double against Liverpool at the weekend and now Rafa Benitez is ready to offer him the chance to move to Anfield.Zaki, 25, is on-loan at the JJB Stadium until the end of this season from El Zamalek but he is expected to move to England on a permanent deal but to who is unclear. Steve Bruce has claimed that Wigan already have first refusal on the player which seems to lessen Liverpool's chances of signing the powerful striker.
Benitez told The Times : "Everybody will be checking his situation now," Manchester City are also understood to be interested in signing Zaki, with reports claiming that the world's richest club are to meet with his advisers during the week. Zaki has 48 caps for his country, with an impressive tally of 29 goals for the African nation.
