Zaki: Bruce praise
Steve Bruce believes he has signed the best striker in the world after agreeing a deal for Egypt international Amr Zaki.
The Wigan boss has been involved in a long-running chase for the El Zamalek forward, with the two clubs believed to have now agreed terms on a one-year loan deal.
Zaki is expected to cost the Latics an initial £1million, with an agreement to pay a further £5million next summer if he impresses in the Premier League.
And Bruce is confident that the striker, who has scored 27 goals in 48 appearances for his country, will be able to make his mark at the JJB Stadium
Bruce told the Daily Mail: "According to Fifa statistics, Zaki 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."
