Ittihad Alexandria striker Mohamed Farouk confirmed on Saturday that he has been offered a trial period English championship side Southampton.

"Southampton sent me an invitation for a one-week trial in England," Farouk told FilGoal.com.

It is unclear whether Ittihad will allow their international forward to partake in the trial.

Ittihad will kick-off their Egyptian League campaign on Thursday when they play Arab Contractors.

Farouk played for Egyptian and African champions Ahli before moving to Turkish side Ankaragucu.

The 27-year-old returned to Ahli and then played for Alexandria sides Harras Al-Hodoud and Ittihad.
