Amr Khaled Bebo, the young Egyptian winger, has expressed his ambition to emulate the successes of Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush as he embarks on a new chapter of his career with Swiss club FC Aarau.
The 19-year-old, who has joined the Challenge League side on loan from Al Ahly, is eager to make his mark in European football and follow in the footsteps of two of Egypt’s most prominent talents.
Bebo, who previously played for Al Ahly’s under-19 team, has taken a significant step by moving to Switzerland, where he hopes to develop further and showcase his skills on a bigger stage.
In a recent interview, the young player revealed his excitement for the opportunity to prove himself in the Swiss second division.
Reflecting on his move, Bebo spoke highly of the support he has received from Al Ahly’s president, Mahmoud Al-Khatib.
The club’s leadership, particularly Al-Khatib, has played an instrumental role in Bebo’s transition to Europe, with the winger expressing gratitude for the backing he has received.
“Al-Khatib did not abandon me,” Bebo said, acknowledging the encouragement from his former club as he takes this bold step in his career.
Bebo’s aspirations go beyond just proving himself in Switzerland; he aims to follow in the footsteps of Salah and Marmoush, two Egyptian players who have made successful moves to Europe and become key figures in their respective teams.
Salah’s stellar career at Liverpool and Marmoush’s rise at VfB Stuttgart have set a powerful example for the next generation of Egyptian talent, and Bebo is determined to mirror their success.
Salah and Marmoush have given a lot of hope to all the youngsters. The duo has proven that we can do anything if we commit ourselves and train hard, he said. “I want to follow in the footsteps of Salah and Marmoush.”
Bebo’s loan deal with FC Aarau is set to run until next summer, marking a significant milestone in his career as he begins his first professional contract.
His decision to join the Swiss club is seen as an important step in his development, and he is optimistic about the opportunities that lie ahead in his European journey.
With his eyes set on future success, Bebo will be hoping that his time in Switzerland will serve as a launchpad for a fruitful career in European football, following the impressive paths laid by Salah and Marmoush.
