After a very successful season in the top flight of Iraq with Naft Al-Basra, Ismaïl Ouro-Agoro is leaving the club this summer. The Togolese striker and former Ethiopian Premier League top scorer signed a contract with Egyptian Premier League side Tala'ea El Gaish on Thursday, July 3.

According to revelations made to Ablam Gnamesso of Pan-Africa Football by sources within the Egyptian club, Tala'ea El Gaish SC has reached a definitive agreement with the 29-year-old player to recruit him during the current summer transfer window.

According to Pan-Africa Football's sources, the Togolese international signed a two-year contract until June 2027 and is highly anticipated in Cairo, Egypt, after his contract with Naft Al-Basra expires at the end of the 2024-25 Iraqi Premier League. It should be noted that the Togolese player has signed on a free transfer. So far, Ismaïl Ouro-Agoro has scored 10 goals and provided 3 assists in 33 matches this season with Naft Al-Basra.

Ouro-Agoro, who played for Rabat's AS FAR during the 2023-2024 season in Morocco's Botola Pro, won the Ethiopian Premier League top scorer award with 25 goals in 30 appearances during the 2022-2023 season with Saint George Sports Club. He won the league title during both of his seasons with Saint George, scoring 37 goals in 47 games.
