He joined Al Masry in the winter window, signing a contract through 2028-29.
Playing Style & Assessment
Zeidan reflects the technical and tactical discipline of Scandinavian football, capable of producing creativity in the final third. His time in multiple countries adds to his tactical adaptability.
Strengths
- Multi-national league experience — Time in Sweden, the UAE and Norway has built rapid adaptability to different football cultures.
- National-team motivation — Choosing Palestine and scoring for them shows a drive to perform on the international stage.
- Technical foundation — Coming from an organised academy structure like Malmö FF’s gives him a tactical and technical edge.
Development Areas
- Lack of club-level continuity — Being loaned out repeatedly from Malmö FF shows he hadn’t yet become a core player at one club.
- Egyptian league inexperience — His performances at Al Masry can’t yet be judged on a broad sample.
- Physical league adaptation — The transition from Scandinavian leagues to Egypt’s more physical, warmer-climate conditions should be monitored.
Level Projection
Verdict: An internationally experienced attacking midfielder from a European academy background; worth tracking as a development transfer for technically minded mid-to-upper Süper Lig clubs, though his first performances in Egypt should be observed.
