Egyptian central midfielder Emam Ashour is not expected to sign a new contract with Al-Ahly as he pursues a move to Europe. Celtic manager Martin O’Neill has personally inquired about the 28-year-old's conditions, and Coventry City are also interested in the midfielder. It has been reported that a fee of around £4 million would be required to sign him, and the player is said to be attracted by the prospect of Champions League football.
