ALEXANDRIA: Ittihad have reached an agreement with ENPPI to keep on-loan midfielder Ibrahim Al-Shayeb on a permanent basis.

Al-Shayeb will join us permanently for a fee of LE 600,000. He should sign the contract soon, Ittihad chairman Mohamed Moselhi told FilGoal.com.

Al-Shayeb joined ENPPI from Ittihad in 2006, but struggled to find a regular place with the Cairo club and thus returned to Alexandria.

Meanwhile, Ittihad have signed winger Hani Abdullah from Asyut Petroleum in a two-year deal worth LE 1.2 million.
