Terriers boss David Wagner said in a statement on the club's official website; “I’m very happy that we will be able to welcome Ramadan Sobhi to Huddersfield Town.
“He’s a real talent and has achieved a lot for a player who is only 21 years old, playing over 20 times for his country ahead of this summer’s World Cup.
"Just as Jonas Lössl, Elias Kachunga and Laurent Depoitre did, Ramadan will join our club on the back of a challenging season. However, he already has a lot of the qualities that we look for in our Terriers identity.
"He’s skilful, direct and very quick-thinking. He still has a lot of space to improve too, which is very exciting."
Sobhi flew in from Egypt's World Cup training camp in order to complete a medical with the club, before penning a deal that will run until 2021, with the option of a further year.
The versatile winger made 41 Premier League appearances for the Potters, but was unable to help save the club from relegation last season, after a prolonged run of dismal form.
