Wages saving alone will be over 2 mill. It was also known by Bilic that Hegazi could leave during the transfer window of which ours had shut but the Saudi Window hadn’t. It’s a good deal for Albion with a saving of nearly 10mill with fee and wages. All this for a player who Bilic only used 14 times last season. If we would have waited until the end of season that would have meant spending at least another 8 mill in wages and his transfer fee going down. Now I like Hegazi but for me the deal was to good to turn down in these trying times.
