Mohamed Hossam Eldin Gaber, known as Beso, 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. 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. Having featured once more in the Egyptian League Cup against Ghazl El Mahalla, he opted to stay with the club he supported, rather than leave on loan.Injured for the beginning of the 2022–23 season, he was registered in the first team for their CAF Champions League squad list, alongside fellow youth player Hossam Ashraf. 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. In May 2023, Beso was reportedly involved in a training ground altercation with teammate Nabil Emad, something Emad later denied.
In August 2023 it was reported that Zamalek manager Juan Carlos Osorio requested Beso leave the club on loan, in order to gain experience. By December of the same year, he had received offers from three unnamed clubs, with Al Ahly and Pharco being reported as potential suitors. According to reports, despite Beso being willing to move to a new club, Zamalek refused all offers.
Despite these reports, Beso would eventually join Egyptian Second Division A club [El El Sekka El Hadid SC|Sekka El Hadid SC|Sekka El Hadid] on a six-month loan deal on 31 January 2024. 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. Following the end of his loan spell, and subsequent release by Zamalek, he joined Raya.
