He said, 'We received a great welcome from Tawfiq in Cairo, and Bounedjah played a major role in completing the deal. We succeeded in signing a great international player. We wish him all the best and success with Al Shamal Club in the coming period.' Al Ali stated: 'Akram has big ambitions and is a fighter on the field.
