French Mercato wrote a report on Egyptian young midfielder Hossam Hassan asking French clubs to seize the chance of signing the rising star who is out of contract.

Revealed at the last U-20 World Cup, midfielder Hossam Hassan caught the eyes of several foreign scouts.

The versatile-Egyptian player- who was particularly distinguished at the brilliant success against Italy (4-2) - is currently out of contract. His ambition to try his luck in Europe, he simply refused to sign a first professional contract with his club Enppi who proposed a signing on fee bonus with a salary of about 400.000 LE per year. Zamalek Sporting Club was also in the running. Same story for Qatari and UAE teams.

Hossam Hassan (20 years, 1m78, 70kg) has preferred to sign for a new agent as his goal is to play abroad: Rachid Tajmout. "He interests many people but the situation is ambiguous," says one who is also the manager of Emile M'Penza Mehdi Carcela Landry Mulemo or Mbark Boussoufa.
