HUDDERSFIELD are set to make Egypt star Ramadam Sobhi their next signing ahead of the World Cup.
The winger is on the verge of securing a move from relegated Stoke to the Terriers.
The 21-year-old played just over an hour of his country’s goalless draw with Colombia on Friday night.
And the Egyptian FA confirmed after the game that Sobhi had been allowed to briefly return to England to undergo a medical ahead of a possible switch to Huddersfield.
The ace made 30 appearances for Stoke last season and scored three goals but was unable to prevent his side from dropping into the Championship.
David Wagner had identified the need for new wide men in his squad ahead of the new campaign.
And he now looks set to secure that reinforcement with Sobhi.
The attacker joined Stoke from Al Ahly for £5m in 2016.

He will become Wagner’s second signing of the transfer window.
Goalkeeper Ben Hamer completed a switch from Leicester this week.
