Ahmed Al-Muhammadi (Sunderland, England)

Ahmed Al-Muhammadi from 1987 plays for Premier League club Sunderland; on loan from Egyptian Premier League side ENPPI. Al-Muhammadi is widely regarded as one of the future stars in the Egyptian football.

He made his debut for the Black Cats last Saturday in a pre-season friendly against Conference site Darlington.

Ahmed could make his Premier League debut in Sunderland's curtain raiser against Birmingham City on August 14th.

Steve Bruce seems to impressed by him as he started the last 2 games (Hull, Befica) and was later parised by his coach. Would be nice if he keeps it going like that and starts vs. Birmingham City too.

The important part of his loan deal is the fact that there is a buy clause at a relatively modest price (in terms of EPL prices) :

"On 1 July 2010, Al-Muhammadi has joined Sunderland after passing medicals for a season-long loan move from ENPPI for a £500,000 with an option of a permanent sale for £2million next summer."

I'm sure he'll do well this season and end up joining the club on a permanent basis.

Nice debut for El Mohamady though he commited the foul whcih was folowed by the equalizer. He has to improve his crossing but overall he did very well!!
