Meteb, who's on loan at Ittihad from Ahli until the end of the season, has already notched 13 goals for the Saudi champions this campaign.

The 25-year-old is also having a good spell with Ittihad in the Asian Champions League, which Shawky believes will be the player's door to Europe.

"My client is still wanted by a number of European clubs who were interested in signing him before he moved to the Saudi League," Shawky told Saudi newspaper Al-Madina.

"Additionally, many clubs are also watching the Asian Champions League, where Meteb is doing very well."

Meteb has earlier said that he still hasn’t decided on whether to stay with Ittihad next season or return to Ahli or seek a European move.
