ISMAILIA: Ismaili have signed Nigerian U-20 striker John Jambo on a free transfer, the player s agent said on Monday.
The Dervishes are determent on registering the promising forward on immediate effect, completing the three spots available for foreign players.
John signed for Ismaili on Monday, agent Sunny Ruebens told FilGoal.com.
I prefer not to reveal details of the contract for now, but John is ready to play for Ismaili immediately.
Ruebens said that the 20-year-old rejected an offer from Ahly Dubai as he is poised to join the Nigeria first team.
He had an offer from Ahly Dubai, but we thought Ismaili would be better for him, he added.
Jambo s chances of getting a call from the Nigeria first team would be limited if he joined Ahly, because he won t be able to play before January.
Jambo hopes to join the Super Eagles for next January s African Championship of Nations in Ivory Coast.
The Nigerian had an impressive spell at second division Canal last season, where he hit 13 goals for the Ismailia-based side.
