Ramy Rabia looks like a promising signing for Sporting Portugal, especially as a replacement for Eric Dier who moved to Tottenham. At just 21, Rabia already has impressive experience, having won both the Egyptian league and the CAF Champions League with Al Ahly, plus leading Egypt to victory in the 2013 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations as captain. That winning goal against Algeria shows he can handle pressure moments too.
With 8 senior caps for Egypt, he’s still young but clearly on the rise. Sporting getting him for €750,000 with Al Ahly retaining 15% of his rights sounds like a smart move — they get a talented defender while the Egyptian club keeps a stake in his future success.
