Mohamed Salah (FC Basel 1893 Flag)
The young Egyptian player who is de-
scribed by the British media as a “balleri-
na” is showing great performance with his
Swiss team, leading them to the Europa
League semi-finals. Salah the lightning,
quick 20-year-old has already attracted
attention from Serie A and Bundesliga
clubs with his speed and poise on the ball.
But the most promising African talent
last year is expected to move to Totten-
ham by the end of this season to replace
the young winger Gareth Bale who is ex-
pected to leave the Spurs next summer.
The right Egyptian wing “El-Mo” is looking to help
his team gain a Premier League promotion to cap
his efforts with the Championship second-division
side. El-Mohamady was named as Hull’s player of
the year after producing superb displays this term,
scoring three goals, assisting nine and helped in
creating several others. The 25-year-old player is
on a season-long loan from Sunderland till the end
of August, but he hopes to stay with the Tigers if
they got promoted to the Premier League.
The African Cup of Nations 2010 top scorer is
working hard with his team to get promoted to the
Premier League before the end of his six-month
loan deal from Al-Ahly to the Tigers. Despite his
foot injury during his side’s 1-0 win over Middles-
brough, the 28-year-old player is hoping to cele-
brate his team’s promotion as the Tigers will move
to the elite Premier League. The future of Gedo with
Hull City is not clear yet, but some press reports
suggested he stay with the Tigers after making a
transference offer to his Egyptian club, Al-Ahly.
Gedo has appeared 12 times with his English team
and scored five goals.
He returned from his second suspension
to play the whole game in Rio Ave’s 2-1
victory over Beira-Mar. The 20-year-old
striker is showing good displays with his
Portuguese team; he scored five goals in 12
league appearances this season. Al-Ahly
previous player is predicted to be one of
Egypt’s best goal scorers in the future.
