Baggies boss Tony Pulis and new Hull chief Leonid Slutsky have both now checked on the 26-year-old as they shape their squads for the new season.
Hegazy began his career with hometown club Ismaily, but had a three-year spell in Italy with Fiorentina and played on loan for Perugia before returning home to join Ahly in 2015.
Under contract until 2020, he is valued at £6million and nicknamed the “Nesta of the Pyramids” – thanks to a similar playing style to Italian ace Alessandro Nesta.
