Al Ahly monitor Mauritanian striker Idrissa Thiam ahead of January window

Al Ahly are exploring the possibility of strengthening their squad during the upcoming January transfer window, with Mauritanian striker Idrissa Thiam emerging as a priority target.

The Egyptian giants are working closely with head coach Hussein Ammouta in an attempt to bolster their team, with Thiam, who currently plays for Al Mokawloon Al Arab being on their list.

The Mauritanian forward has attracted attention with his recent performances and has been identified as a player the club could continue to assess before making any decision over a possible move.

Al Ahly are understood to be monitoring Thiam’s development to gain a clearer assessment of his technical qualities and determine whether he fits into Ammouta’s plans for the second half of the season.

The 25-year-old has scored two goals in five appearances for Al Mokawloon Al Arab this season, performances that have reportedly attracted interest from a number of clubs.

However, Al Ahly have yet to make a formal move for the striker, with the club expected to continue evaluating his performances before deciding whether to pursue a deal.

The Red Devils are looking to add players capable of making an immediate contribution as they prepare for a demanding second half of the campaign.

Any decision to sign Thiam is expected to depend on the assessment of Ammouta and the club’s football management, particularly regarding the player’s suitability for Al Ahly’s tactical and technical requirements.

With the January transfer window approaching, Thiam could therefore remain on Al Ahly’s radar as the club continues its search for potential reinforcements.
