Wigan Athletic, 12:32, July 17, 2008 ,
Wigan Athletic manager Steve Bruce believes he has signed the best striker in the world in Amr Zaki.
The Egyptian forward has been a long-term target for Bruce and he appears to have finally got his man after agreeing a one-year loan deal with El Zamalek, with an option for a permanent £5million transfer at the end of next season.
Bruce is now confident that Zaki can make an impact in the Premier League after creating an impressive international record which has seen him score 27 goals in 48 appearances for Egypt.
"According to Fifa statistics, Zaki is rated No.1 in the world," Bruce told the Daily Mail.
"He's scored better than one in two for his country and Egypt won the African Cup of Nations.
"He's a big star out there - I hope he can be for us."
