Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has confirmed he is checking on Wigan star Ami Zaki, after the African hit-man scored a memorable double at Anfield on Saturday.

The Egyptian striker has taken the Premier League by storm this season with seven goals in his first eight game making him top scorer in England's top-flight.

He highlighted his form with a brilliant brace at Liverpool, which included a stunning volley at the Kop end.

Wigan signed the forward on loan from El Zamalek in his homeland and they always stated that they had secured first refusal on him.

No deal
However, in recent days, Zamalek have insisted that they will sell the player to which ever club they want, and Manchester City are already thought to have made contact via their new Abu Dhabi-based owners.

"We will have the right to sell Zaki to any club," Zamalek president Mamdouh Abbas stated.

But Benitez, who looks set to be in the market for a new front-man come January, has intriguingly admitted that he will also be taking a close look at Zaki after his outstanding display against the Spaniard's side on Saturday.

"Everybody will be checking his situation now," Benitez admitted in The Times

He'll be staying at Wigan a mon avis, but if he does move, I can see City being his likely suitors.

No, because of the money. If he doesn't care about money he'll stay at Wigan, if he does want the money I think City will be coughing up a lot more than anybody else will. Apparently we already have sent some representatives over to Cairo to have a chat with the Zamalek officials.

And if he wants to play CL football rather than just premiership and cup football?

I wonder if he'll continue this form.

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

I think he will keep it up. I doubt Santa Cruz will produce the form he did last season but looking at Zaki's attributes...bar injury, I can't see him letting up.

It was more a side kick. Second best goal of the weekend just behind Belletti's toe-punt.

I'd rather not sign him to be honest, we need to be aiming higher. He is in many ways like Santa Cruz, brilliant first season but will not show the same kind of form in the next season. Decent striker and I'd be happy with him on the bench, but no more.

This just emphasises why Liverpool constantly finish 4th and won't win the Premiership for a long time, way too many average signings.

I agree with your final point but I genuinely believe Zaki can establish himself as a quality player. He has an air of class about him and is potentially a complete striker.
