FORMER Kilmarnock forward Souleymane Coulibaly looks set to be on his way out of Egyptian giants Al Ahly without playing a game – less than a month after joining them for £1m, writes Mark Walker.

The Ivory Coast attacker was a huge hit at Rugby Park this season after netting 11 goals for the Ayrshire club, leading to his big-money move to the Cairo club at the end of last month.

However, the move has turned into a nightmare for the 22-year-old. He's yet to play a single minute for the Egyptian champions amid concerns about his fitness and state of mind, with local press revealing he reportedly burst into tears in front of his team-mates when he learned he wasn't in a match-day squad again.

Al Ahly have also been strongly criticised for splashing out the huge transfer fee without actually watching him play – they only saw the former Spurs youngster on video.

And his agent has already had showdown talks with the club about Coulibaly's lack of appearances. Now reports in Africa have suggested Al Ahly have had enough and will put him on the transfer list.

That would be of huge interest to cash-strapped Killie, who are due 25 per cent for any sell-on fee. Al Ahly general manager Hossam Al-Badri would only state: "The coaches have decided that Coulibaly is not ready for the first team yet. He is not at the required technical or physical level."
