Barcelona have confirmed the arrival of Egyptian striker Hamza Abdelkarim on an initial loan deal.
The club’s pursuit of the 18-year-old has taken up a large part of the winter transfer window and looked destined to collapse early on amid a dispute over his contract with parent club Al Ahly, but a breakthrough was reached earlier this week on a deal which includes an option to make the move permanent for €5 million ($6 million).
