    "My agent spoke to me after the game and told me about Arsenal’s interest," the forward said, according to The Daily Star.

    Zidan added: "He asked me to try to impress them, and become the first Egyptian to play for the Gunners."

    Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is also believed to be tracking Girondins de Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh, with some reports suggesting a pre-contract agreement has already been agreed, according to Goal.com.
