Deserves his own thread now - John Percy says it's happening, which generally means it's happening.

#avfc have agreed a £8.75m deal with Turkish club Kasimpasa for Trezeguet, the Egypt international. Understand the deal for the winger includes significant add-ons. Trezeguet will have a medical this weekend

Will this need a work permit too?  Hopefully a great deal for the club, good age, good pace and hopefully exciting.

Hope this is true. Still want one more winger, if I'm being fussy. But he sounds good 😊

Wouldn’t have thought so he has played 41 games for Egypt.

I'm really looking forward to seeing these new guys against Bournemouth!

Another one I have no knowledge of, but the reports of him sound very promising. It's very impressive how we have targeted these players early on in the window and signed them with relatively no fuss.

I am always slightly cautious about starting dedicated threads for players that are not officially signed... but hope we do get this one done.

He still needs a work permit. He may get one automatically based on caps earned. For teams that are 31-50 players need to have played in 75% of their matches in the preceding two years.

Egypt are currently ranked 57 but have been, I think, in the top fifty for most of the last two years which, I assume, makes him eligible for an automatic work permit.

Obligatory YouTube vid. Having watched Green the other night we really did need another winger. This guy has pace, a few tricks and an eye for goal.

[garyshawsknee]

You could imagine him working well with Guilbert.

[eamonn]

Significant add-ons? How much, like...can't we ever just get a bona-fide bargain without the future penalty for improving a player?

[brontebilly]

We needed to urgently strengthen our options out wide, so it's a welcome signing. Fairly nomadic existence at club level so far and will be a huge step up from the Turkish league you would think.

skint your eyes and he reminds me of Figo

Yeah, SJM !

Hibs have a sell-on clause...
