SUNDERLAND: Sunderland have signed Egypt international Ahmed Al-Muhammadi on a season-long loan from ENPPI, the English Premier League club announced Friday.

The north-east side have an option to make the deal for the 22-year-old permanent at the end of the loan spell.

Al-Muhammadi can play on the right side of defense or midfield and featured in the whole of Egypt’s 3-1 friendly loss to England at Wembley in March.
