Stoke City 'interested in the new Mohamed Salah'

Stoke City are among a handful of clubs reportedly interested in signing Al Ahly youngster Mahmoud Saber.

The Egyptian winger has been likened to Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, who has scored 32 Premier League goals this season - more than any other player in history.

Saber has eight goals and 30 assists for Al Ahly's Under-16 side, helping them to secure their league title.

The North African club are willing to offer the 16-year-old a professional contract to ward off interest from Stoke, according to The Sun.

The report adds that Valencia and Ajax are also keeping tabs on the young forward.
