Mohamed Zidan’s father, Abdullah Zidan, has claimed that Manchester United, Arsenal and Barcelona have all contacted his son over a possible move in the summer.
"Arsenal, Manchester United and Barcelona have talked to Mohamed's agent," he told Dream TV.
Zidan scored once and created a number of goals for his team-mates in the Africa Cup of Nations as Egypt won their third straight title and their seventh in the tournament's history.
Abdullah also revealed that Zidan has a clause in his contract which enables him to complete a move to any of these clubs at the end of the season.
Zidan made headlines in June when he scored twice against Brazil in Egypt's 4-3 defeat in the Confederations Cup. He has so far scored twice for Dortmund this season, besides the several assists to club top scorer Lucas Barrios.

Milan owner and former Italy prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has this to say:
“I said to Ibrahimovic not to use his hands (in reference to slapping a Napoli player at the weekend) and only his feet – he did that tonight.
“He reminded me of Van Basten, whom I am very happy for with his new job at Heerenveen.
“As for the future, we already have a great coach in Allegri and we're very happy with him. I speak to him and give him suggestions as I did with all my previous coaches.
“Champions League or Scudetto? We will try to win everything, and I think we can do just that. We had a lot of injuries, but we have a big squad, so we should be able to compete on all fronts.”

Robert Zeliang has this to say of Arsene Wenger: "Wrong tactics, fool. Arsenal have dug their own graves.”
Meanwhile, Tonde Chitonho has asked Thierry Henry to take Arsene Wenger back to the US with him!
And on the subject of Henry, Rizky Ferdiansyah humorously added: “King Henry couldn't beat the Prince Boateng!”

After the match, I took to Facebook and Twitter again to get some fan reaction. Lets take a look at what our readers have to say:
Joel Peeperkoorn feels that Arsenal should rest their big guns in the second leg, saying: “There's no way we can beat Milan by five goals."
Jez Cook, however, takes a different perspective, singing himself back to positivity: “FIVE FOUR we're gunna win five four we're gunna win five four we're gunna win five four ....FIVE FOUR we're gunna win five four we're gunna win five four we're gunna win five four ...FIVE FOUR - just keep repeating it.”
Well, you have to admire his fighting spirit...

Stat time again, folks, as we can reveal that tonight is Milan's biggest ever win the Champions League, while it is Arsenal's biggest ever loss in the competition!
Incidentally, no team has ever progressed in Europe after losing the first leg by such a heavy deficit.
