With the January transfer window just around the corner, Leicester City are now eyeing up potential new signings.
Steve Cooper’s side signed nine players in the summer 2024 window and after a difficult start, signs of life are finally there in terms of results.
As for the signings, they have all had contrasting starts to the season, which may encourage Cooper to go back into the market.
One of those that they could move for is Mostafa Mohamed. The striker, who has the same agent as Caleb Okoli, has been linked with a move to the King Power Stadium, according to Sportune.
With that, we take a look at the forward that could help Leicester get over the line and secure Premier League survival.
Who is Mostafa Mohamed?
Mostafa Mohamed is a professional footballer currently playing for Ligue 1 outfit Nantes.
Mohamed joined the French side in 2023 after spending the 2022/23 campaign on loan from Galatasaray.
He began his career in his homeland of Egypt at Zamalek, breaking into the first team before leaving Africa for Europe in 2021.
Mostafa Mohamed’s date of birth, age, height, and where he was born
Mohamed was born on 28 November 1997, making him 26 at the time of writing.
The Nantes forward was born in Giza, Egypt, and has represented his country at youth and senior level, playing 41 times across all levels for the Pharaohs.
He stands at 1.85m, which equates to six feet one inches, making him an average height.
What position does Mostafa Mohamed play?
The 26-year-old typically plays as a centre-forward who is predominately right-footed and operates down the middle of the pitch.

What is Mostafa Mohamed’s style of play?
Despite being a relatively normal height, Mohamed’s best attributes lie in his physical strength, and he is more than capable of scoring headers.
He will often hold up the ball to bring others into the game but is blessed with the pace to run in behind the defence and unleash a powerful shot.
If needed, Mohamed can also take a set piece and has even scored from a free-kick.
Mostafa Mohamed career stats
It’s been a relatively difficult start to the season for the Egypt international with one goal from seven appearances at the time of writing.
Mohamed has only started one of those seven games too but was subbed shortly after the hour-mark.
During his time at Nantes, the forward has scored 20 goals in 87 games – his best return at a club.
