Zamalek sign Swedish-Palestinian winger Adam Kaied
The 23-year-old joins on a three-year deal after the expiration of his contract with Dutch side NAC Breda, where he spent the past two-and-a-half seasons.
Kaied made 17 appearances in all competitions last season for Breda, scoring once.
Born in Sweden to Palestinian parents, he represented Sweden at youth level before switching allegiance to Palestine, for whom he has earned two senior caps.
He becomes Zamalek’s fifth signing of the summer following the arrivals of goalkeeper El-Mahdi Soliman, Angolan winger Chico Banza, and Pharco FC attacking duo Amr Nasser and Ahmed Sherif.
The club have also extended the contract of veteran playmaker Abdallah El-Saed for two more seasons and are close to signing NBE midfielder Ahmed Rabie.
Zamalek are rebuilding their squad after a disappointing campaign last season, which saw them finish third in the Egyptian Premier League and exit the CAF Confederation Cup in the quarter-finals.
The new league season is scheduled to begin in August.
