Egyptian midfielder Mohamed Aboutrika is a target for several Premier League sides, skysports.com understands.
Aboutrika is widely-regarded as the best player in Egypt and he has been short-listed for the African Player of the Year award.
His performances for club and country have alerted a number of clubs across Europe and a couple of unnamed Premier League clubs have made enquires for his services when the January transfer window reopens.
The classy midfielder will have the chance to showcase his talents in this month's Fifa Club World Cup and a number of clubs are expected to have scouts watching him in Japan.
Al Ahly are unlikely to stand in Aboutrika's way to move to Europe if they receive a suitable offer.
Agent Jesse Learoyd-Hill, who has been given the mandate by Al Ahly to work on any transfer for Aboutrika, admits two Premier League teams are chasing the goalscoring midfielder's services.
"I can confirm two clubs in England have made contact about Aboutrika's availability," Learoyd-Hill told skysports.com.
"However, contrary to reports in the media Manchester City are not one of those that are interested in him.
"I am in negotiations with a couple of clubs but as yet there has been no agreement with any parties.
"The interest in him is not surprising and those who get the chance to see him in Japan will have confirmed to them the general opinion on the ability of the player."
