Bruce won't sign Zaki

Wigan manager Steve Bruce has confirmed he will not be making striker Amr Zaki’s loan deal permanent after experiencing a number of problems with the Egypt international.

The 26-year-old had a blistering start to the season after joining from El Zamalek, with eight goals in his first 10 matches, but he has not scored from open play since mid-October and his last goal came on December 28.
