Ghanaian forward Benjamin Acheampong has received his outstanding entitlements from Egyptian giants Zamalek following a FIFA order, his lawyer, Roy, has confirmed.

The former Asante Kotoko striker pursued legal action against the Cairo-based club over $100,000 in unpaid wages and other financial obligations stemming from his spell with the club between 2017 and 2018.

According to reports, former Zamalek goalkeeper and players’ agent Nader El-Sayed received $100,000 from the Egyptian side to facilitate a settlement over Acheampong’s outstanding dues.

However, the intended settlement reportedly failed to materialise, forcing Acheampong to continue pursuing his entitlements through the relevant football authorities.

Speaking to Egyptian outlet Batolat, Acheampong’s lawyer disclosed that the matter had been resolved several years ago after the Ghanaian forward recovered his outstanding dues through FIFA.

“We received all of Acheampong’s dues from Zamalek, and the case has been closed for years,” Roy said.

The confirmation comes amid reports that El-Sayed has been detained for questioning over the alleged $100,000 settlement. Acheampong’s lawyer has maintained that the player has no connection to how the money was handled between El-Sayed and Zamalek, stressing that his client’s financial dispute with the Egyptian club was settled years ago.
