Former Liverpool midfielder, Ovie Ejaria, is set to undergo a trial with Zamalek in the coming days as the club considers signing him.
Ejaria will arrive in Egypt soon, as recommended by Zamalek head coach Jose Gomes, after being a free agent since leaving Reading in January.
During his trial, Ejaria will train in Mit Okba until the Egyptian Super Cup and if he performs well, he may earn himself a contract with Zamalek.
Born to Nigerian parents, Ejaria can play as a left-winger or central midfielder, Ejaria started his career in the famous Arsenal academy
In 2014, Ejaria moved to Liverpool, where he made eight first-team appearances under Jurgen Klopp, including two in the Premier League, while also going out on loans at Sunderland, Rangers, and Reading.
After two loan spells at the Madejski Stadium, Ejaria signed for Reading permanently in August 2020 for €4m, making overall 127 appearances, mainly across the Championship, scoring nine goals, and assisting 13, before leaving for free last January.
At Reading, the 26-year-old worked with current White Knights coach Jose Gomes, under whom he played 27 matches, scored three goals, and provided two assists.
His last competitive match came in August 2022, when Reading faced Watford in the Championship and since then, Ejaria has not played.
Ejaria also represented England at various youth levels and in 2017, he won the U-20 World Cup with England in South Korea, making three appearances during the competition.
This summer, Ejaria went on trial with Championship side Oxford United, but he failed to impress and ultimately the club decided not to sign the player.
