No Zamalek move for Djemba-Djemba
Zamalek have surprisingly pulled the plug on a summer swoop for Cameroonian midfielder Eric Djemba-Djemba, FilGoal.com understands.

The player's agent revealed earlier on Sunday that his client is on the verge of completing a move to the Egyptian Cup winners.

However, Zamalek opted not to proceed with the deal, fearing that the arrival of Djemba-Djemba could dent their chances of strengthening the left-back position.

Egyptian FA regulations allow every club to register three foreigners in its squad for local competitions.

Zamalek already have two foreigners at their disposal – Tunisian defender Wissem El-Abdi and Ghana striker Junior Agogo.

The Cairo giants have offered a trial to an unnamed Brazilian left-back as they look to replace duo Khaled Saad and Tarek Al-Sayed, who have been released last month.
