Egyptian football team Ahly has signed a four and a half season deal with Burkina Faso and Coton Sport midfielder Moussa Yedan.

"Yedan has signed the contracts already, but there are procedures that need to be finalized with his club," the club's football manager Hadi Khashaba said on the team's official website on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old, who will replace Mauritanian Dominique Da Silva, will join the Egyptian team after his eye-catching performance with Cameroon's Coton Sport.

"The player will be in Cairo in late December as he is currently on national duty," Khashaba explained.

Yedan will play with Burkina Faso against Algeria in the African World Cup playoffs on Tuesday.

Ahly is preparing for the FIFA Club World Cup in Morocco next month after claiming their eighth CAF Champions League trophy when they defeated South Africa's Orlando Pirates in the finals.
