Egyptian players’ participation chances in the EPL

CAIRO – 20 July 2017: With the English Premier League poised start a new season full of excitement and joy, Egypt Today decided to discuss the chances of Egyptian players participating with their teams next season.

Mohamed Salah, Mohamed el-Neny, Ramadan Sobhy and Ahmed Hegazy will represent their clubs and Egypt in next years Premier League.

Starting with Liverpool’s most expensive player, Mohamed Salah is expected to play regularly with Liverpool FC next season. Liverpool’s coach Jurgen Klopp is set to play Salah in the starting lineup next to the Brazilian striker Roberto Firmino and the Senegalese winger Sadio Mane, with Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana behind these attacking trio.

Klopp believes that Salah will enhance Liverpool’s attack and would strengthen Liverpool’s attacking pace along with offering extra solutions during the game.

Moving on to Arsenal’s central defensive midfielder, Neny will not feature in every game for Arsenal. Wenger changed the formation to offer more defensive depth; however, Neny would be good as a bench player according to Arsene Wenger.

This is evident through Arsenal’s acceptance of a bid offered by Leicester City to purchase Neny, with the latter rejecting the bid expressing his happiness at London.

Next on the list is the Egyptian youngster Ramadan Sobhy playing for Stoke City next season. Ramadan is expected to appear in more games than he did in the last season. This is due to two things. The first one being that Marko Arnatuvic, Stoke City’s winger, being on the verge to sign for West Ham, increases Sobhy’s playtime.

Secondly, due to the fact that Sobhy mesmerized Stoke’s manager with his unbelievable talent last season. As Sobhy’s agent previously said, the officials of Stoke City are dealing with him as a project where they may make a lot of profit from. They will be giving the player a lot of playtime in order to show what he has got.

Lastly is Ahmed Hegazi, who recently joined West Bromwich, is expected to play gradually with West Bromwich due to the lack of defenders at the club. West Bromwich has a total of four experienced defenders at the club including Hegazi. One of which is old and one of them (Craig Dawson) sometimes plays as a right back. That being said, Hegazi has high chances in making it regularly into the starting line up.
