Columbus Crew
Major League Soccer
Wessam Abou Ali er på plads i MLS.
Columbus Crew bekræftede lørdag tilgangen af den danskfødte angriber, som det seneste halvandet år har bombet massevis af scoringer ind for egyptiske Al Ahly.
Handlen var ikke nem at få i stand, og det skyldtes blandt andet, at Abou Ali nød stor succes under VM for klubhold, hvor det tidligere 3F Superliga-talent leverede tre kasser på lige så mange kampe.
Issa Tall, som er General Manager hos Columbus Crew, kunne godt unde den palestinensiske målscorer succes, men timingen var ganske uheldig, lyder det med et smil.

- Jeg var så irriteret, fortæller Tall til GiveMeSport.
- Ingen kendte ham, men nu ville hele verden pludselig kende ham. Jeg var selvfølgelig glad på hans vegne, og han fortjente det, men det gjorde tingene kompliceret. Hver gang vi kiggede på andre spillere, forblev Wessam den øverste prioritet.

Manageren fortæller også, at man allerede havde kig på Wessam Abou Ali tilbage i vinterens transfervindue, hvor en aftale dog aldrig kom på plads.
