Moroccan international and former Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech has completed a sensational move to Wydad Casablanca, marking a return to his homeland after several years in Europe.
Ziyech, who was a free agent after parting ways with Galatasaray, has now agreed to join Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca. The deal was finalized on Wednesday, confirming his highly anticipated return to African football.
The 32-year-old attacker reportedly turned down several offers from clubs in the Middle East and Europe before deciding to join Wydad, a move that has excited Moroccan fans who see it as a homecoming for one of their finest footballing exports.
Ziyech began his professional career in the Netherlands, starring for Heerenveen, Twente, and Ajax before earning a move to Chelsea in 2020. He won the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup during his time with the London club.
His arrival is expected to boost Wydad’s ambition to reclaim both domestic dominance and continental glory in the CAF Champions League.
Ziyech is now set to begin training with the team ahead of their next league fixture as he prepares for this new chapter in his illustrious career.
