Hussein El Sayed says Ferjani Sassi will stay at Zamalek

CAIRO-25 December 2020: Hussein El Sayed, former Zamalek captain and deputy director of the club’s executive committee, stated that Ferjani Sassi will stay at Zamalek, denying all rumours that linked him with a move away from the club this winter.
