«I'm here to contribute to the team. I've heard about the incredible atmosphere surrounding the squad and can't wait to experience the passion of the Moroccan fans», he added.
Driven to collaborate with his teammates and coach, the former Lens player is particularly impressed by the training environment and facilities at the Mohammed VI Complex. «I had seen videos, but witnessing it firsthand is truly impressive. I've never experienced a center like this in my career. Everything is in place for us to perform at our best», he remarked.
