He told FilGoal in Egypt: "Zamalek agreed to loan Zaki for one year in a deal worth £1.5 million, he should sign soon.

"If Wigan want him on a permanent basis, they will have to play an additional £4 million next season."

Shawki also revealed that the Egyptian club will receive £500,000 if the player reaches a ten-goal haul with Wigan next term.
