Salah Mohsen Al Masry Scout Report
Salah Mohsen
Quick Answer
Salah Mohsen came through the ENPPI academy, moved to Al Ahly, had loan spells at Smouha and Ceramica Cleopatra, then joined Al Masry as a free agent in January 2024 and quickly became the team’s leading scorer. In 2025-26 he has 7 goals and 2 assists in 19 games, comfortably the club’s top scorer. His biggest strength is shooting accuracy and box finishing; the key question is whether he can add more assists beyond being a pure goal-scorer.

Mohsen moved from the ENPPI academy to Al Ahly in 2018 but could not secure regular minutes in Egypt’s most competitive squad, gaining rhythm instead through loan spells at Smouha and Ceramica Cleopatra. He joined Al Masry as a free agent in January 2024 after mutually terminating his Al Ahly contract, and has outperformed expectations in Port Said, becoming the club’s top scorer with 7 goals and 2 assists from 19 league games in 2025-26, hitting the target on 17 of 38 shots (44.74% accuracy).
Playing Style & Assessment
Mohsen is a classic poacher defined by his timing inside the box and cool finishing. With 0.46 goals and 0.34 xG per 90 minutes — placing him in the league’s top percentile — he’s a decisive, high-volume shooter.
Strengths
- Finishing — 0.46 goals/90 and 44.74% shot accuracy point to a composed decision-maker inside the box.
- Shot volume — 38 shots in 19 games, 2.52 per 90, shows he consistently generates chances.
- Resilience through loans — Turned the minutes he couldn’t get at Al Ahly into a productive loan apprenticeship that paid off at Al Masry.
Development Areas
- Assist output — Just 2 assists suggest limited contribution to creating chances for teammates.
- Disciplinary record — 4 yellow cards hint at occasional over-aggression in duels outside the box.
- Top-level exposure — Never held down a regular starting role at Al Ahly, so his experience against the very highest pressure is limited.
Level Projection
Verdict: One of the Egyptian league’s most productive strikers this season; could be considered a rotation forward or development transfer for mid-to-upper Süper Lig clubs, though a larger sample is needed before guaranteeing a starting role.
