Ghazal links up with compatriot Amr Warda, who joined Larissa from PAOK last summer on a season-long loan deal.

Larissa said in a statement on their official website that Ghazal had completed a medical and signed the contract.

The 27-year-old bas been without a club since leaving Portuguese side Feirense last summer. He also played for Nacional in Portugal, Guizhou Hengfeng in China and Vancouver Whitecaps in Canada.

Ghazal has earned 11 international caps since making his Egypt debut in 2014.

His last appearance came in Egypt's 2-0 victory over DR Congo in the group stage of the African Cup of Nations on home soil last year.

Larissa lie eighth in the Greek league table with 23 points from 18 games.
