Egyptian talented forward/left winger Shikabala is still a target for AZ and PAOK chairman accepted the offer from the Dutch club. That was what the Greek press reported in the past few days.

However, even if PAOK agreed to let the player go, Shikabala will not be able to leave the country while he is in military service. Egyptian midfielder Hosni Abd Rabo faced the same problems before signing for Strasbourg last year but he managed to find a way to leave the country after solving the military service issues.

The player's teammate at PAOK Amir Azmy declared that the Olympic Team assistant coach Magdi Tolba (who is a previous PAOK players as well) tries his best to find a solution for the player to move to Holland.


It should be noted that Egyptian side Al-Ahly offered 600.000 EUROs to land the player but it seems that the deal fell through.
