Egypt international Ahmed Hegazi is set to join Saudi First Division League outfit NEOM SC after departing Ittihad Jeddah. Having joined Ittihad Jeddah in October 2020 from West Brom, it has been revealed that the Tigers are keen on offloading Hegazi this summer after struggling with injuries last season.

Hegazi missed the first half of the season due to an ACL injury, before returning in December to make 21 appearances in which he scored twice as Ittihad failed to defend their league title and finished fifth.

Coached by Brazilian boss Péricles Chamusca, NEOM have already made a number of major signings this summer, including Ittihad’s playmaker Romarinho, former Juventus striker Mbaye Diagne, and Al Fayhaa right-back Osama Al-Khalaf.

The club also has former Real Betis midfielder Petros in their squad and Egypt’s Ahmed Fouad, who played for Pharco, Al Batin, and Al Aluminum during his career.
