“Today, I became a player in the Pyramids club, in a new experience and a new ambition,” Sobhi tweeted.

The winger turned down offers from Zamalek and some other European outfits, including Serie A side Bologna.

“I didn’t move to Pyramids because of money but because the club is run in a European style and our ambitions have matched together,” Sobhi said in his press conference.

“The decision to join Pyramids was mine only and no other person have interfered in it. It is an interesting challenge for me, the way they [Pyramids] are run is no different than what I saw abroad.”

“I have signed a five-year contract with Pyramids. Abdallah El-Said and Ali Gabr were the first to congratulate me. I am happy to be at the club, negotiations didn’t take long. I hope to achieve positive results with the team.”
