CAIRO: Nasr midfielder Hossam Ghaly apologized to teammate Elton Jose after both players embroiled in a row on the pitch during the weekend s cup draw with Hilal, Al-Jazirah newspaper reported.

The paper said that Ghaly patched things up with his Brazilian teammate as he offered a public apology during a training session on Tuesday.

The incident took place when a technical misunderstanding between both midfielders resulted in a fierce argument, which then saw Ghaly push Elton away.

Meanwhile, Nasr have paid Tottenham Hotspur the final installment of Ghaly s £3 million transfer fee from the London club, according to Saudi paper Al-Eqtisadiah.

Spurs, who bought Ghaly from Feyenoord for an undisclosed fee in 2006, received £1 million from the Riyadh-based side this week.
