Hull City manager Steve Bruce breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the team's new-signing Mohamed Nagy 'Gedo' has been finally given the green light to play with the Tigers.
The Egyptian striker re-joined Hull on a season-long loan deal last month but is yet to make his first appearance due to visa problems. He has also been suffering from a foot injury that sidelined him for around four months.
The 28-year-old scored five Championship (second-division) goals in 12 appearances with Hull City last season.
"Knowing that Gedo is on his way to us at last is a huge boost," Bruce was quoted as saying by SkySports on Tuesday.
"There was a time when I genuinely feared we wouldn't be seeing him until Christmas. But we know, from having him here last season, that he has got goals in him and that he is a class finisher.
"I believe he has the quality to be a regular scorer in the Premier League."
