Mohamed Hossam Eldin Gaber (Arabic: محمد حسام; born 1 January 2001), known as Beso (Arabic: بيسو), is an Egyptian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Raya.

Club career

Beso began his career in the academy of Zamalek, and went on to make his debut in a friendly against Wadi Degla in 2020.[1] He made his professional debut the same year, starting and playing the entire first half in a 0–0 draw against Masr, before being replaced by Zizo.[1] Having featured once more in the Egyptian League Cup against Ghazl El Mahalla,[1] he opted to stay with the club he supported, rather than leave on loan.[2]

Injured for the beginning of the 2022–23 season,[3] he was registered in the first team for their CAF Champions League squad list, alongside fellow youth player Hossam Ashraf.[4] Still on the fringes of the main squad, he was promoted to first team training in October 2022 ahead of Zamalek's Egypt Cup quarter-final match against Al Masry.[5] In May 2023, Beso was reportedly involved in a training ground altercation with teammate Nabil Emad, something Emad later denied.[6]

In August 2023 it was reported that Zamalek manager Juan Carlos Osorio requested Beso leave the club on loan, in order to gain experience.[7] By December of the same year, he had received offers from three unnamed clubs,[8] with Al Ahly and Pharco being reported as potential suitors.[9] According to reports, despite Beso being willing to move to a new club, Zamalek refused all offers.[10]

Despite these reports, Beso would eventually join Egyptian Second Division A club Sekka El Hadid on a six-month loan deal on 31 January 2024.[11][12] He later revealed that Zamalek had received offers from Egyptian Premier League sides Ismaily and El Dakhleya, but as they wanted him on loan for a year-and-a-half, Zamalek had rejected—and that his move to Sekka El Hadid had been against his will.[13] Following the end of his loan spell, and subsequent release by Zamalek, he joined Raya.[14]

International career

Beso represented the Egypt Olympic team in 2023.[15]
