Wigan Athletic manager Steve Bruce reckons that Amr Zaky is the best striker in the world.
Bruce has been trailing the 25-year-old for some time and eventually signed his man on a loan deal.
The Latics have paid an initial fee of £1million for the Egyptian international and if he impresses a permanent deal could follow for an additional £5m at the end of the season.
Zaky has scored 27 goals in 48 appearances for his country and Bruce will hope that the former Zamalek ace can make his mark at the JJB Stadium.
Bruce told The Daily Mail: "According to FIFA statistics, Zaky is rated No.1 in the world.
"He's scored better than one in two for his country and Egypt won the African Cup of Nations.
"He's a big star out there - I hope he can be for us
