Zamalek have promoted youngster Hazem Emam to the first team, following his performance in the recent U-21 derby win over Ahli.

The 20-year-old winger has already built a rapport with Zamalek fans, thanks to the resemblance of his name to former favorite Emam.

Emam impressed first team officials in Sunday's youth league 4-3 victory over Ahli; a win which made a huge impact inside the White club.

"We have watched the game and we believe Emam is a fine talent that can be useful to the first team," football director Ahmed Refaat told FilGoal.com.

Refaat masterminded a number of changes to the Zamalek roster since joining the club several weeks ago, in an attempt to improve the team's poor status.
