Al Ahly’s New Target: Jordanian Firepower After Injury Rocks the Attack
15 December 2025
Al Ahly weighs Jordanian firepower after injury reshuffles the frontline
Jordanian duo on Al Ahly's radar.
Egyptian TV host Ahmed Shobier revealed on Monday that Al Ahly is considering signing a Jordanian player in the near future to bolster its attack.
Al Ahly has dropped plans to sign Jordanian international striker Yazan Al-Naimat after the serious knee injury he suffered with his national team in the Arab Cup, a cruciate ligament tear.
Shobier said on his radio show that Al Ahly is monitoring a new attacking duo from Jordan to bolster the frontline in the winter transfer window.
He added: After Naimat's injury, Al Ahly may sign a forward from Jordan; the name currently circulating is Ali Alwan, a very good player; some have even suggested bringing back Fakhouri, a young player nicknamed the Jordan Messi, who previously played for youth national teams and for Al Hussein Irbid, and has recorded very strong numbers.
Shobier explained: Fakhouri is good, but he would play as a left winger, whereas Ali Alwan is a pure center forward.
He continued: Ali Alwan was born in 2000 and has a career across Jordanian clubs including Hussein Irbid, and international experience with the national team, with a reported market value of 450k euros and 61 international caps.
He added: Al Ahly has not negotiated with Ali Alwan yet, but he is among the names under consideration by the club's agents and the scouting committee to bolster the attack.
He continued: Youssef Belhamri, the left-back for Raja Casablanca, is close to joining Al Ahly, and there is a possibility of departures of two Al Ahly forwards in the winter window if offers come in or if the club secures other forwards.
Punchline 1: If this transfer saga were a sniper joke, the punchline would be a goal in the 90th minute—boom, there it is.
Punchline 2: If they sign the Jordanian forward nicknamed the Jordan Messi, the headlines will be sharper than his dribbles and the popcorn stands will finally get a sequel.
