The promising hitman moved to the Cairo side from Mansoura, along with several non-reputable newcomers in the January transfer window.
Al-Morsi, who is yet to make his Egyptian Premier League debut, revealed his old love to Zamalek, proclaiming his allegiance to the crisis-hit club.
"I have never been reluctant to seal a move to Zamalek, it's an honor for any African footballer to be within this team," he told FilGoal.com.
"My Family members are all ardent Zamalek fans, they are keen to see me wearing the white jersey.
"My father, may God have mercy on his soul, was hoping to watch me featuring for Zamalek, and now I'm actually a Zamalek player."
Tips
Al-Morsi made no secret of the tips he was lately given by some of his friends, who advised him not to accept the beleaguered club's offer.
"Indeed, some of my friends warned me off joining Zamalek, given that the club are suffering a multitude of setbacks, but I ignored them all" he revealed.
"I'm sure Zamalek are capable of pulling themselves together and get back to winning ways and glory."
Throughout the last couple of decades, many Mansoura-born players carved out names for themselves when they joined Zamalek.
The likes of Walid Salah Abdul-Latif, Amr Zaki, Tamer Abdul-Hamid, Mohamed Kamouna and others from the landlocked city established themselves at the Mohandeseen-based club.
Al-Morsi wishes he could imitate the success of his hometown predecessors with the five-time African champions.
"Mansoura have always been a provider of talented footballers, and I hope I can live up to the expectations," he concluded.
