Hakim Ziyech is officially joining Wydad Casablanca, marking a remarkable return home for the Moroccan star. The deal was finalized on Wednesday, October 22, according to sports journalist Fabrizio Romano, who reported that the free agent had agreed to join the Botola giants after several approaches. Ziyech most recently played for Qatari side Al-Duhail SC, after his contract with the club's first team expired in June. The 31-year-old winger had joined Al-Duhail in January on a free transfer following the termination of his contract with Turkish club Galatasaray. ??? Hakim Ziyech to Wydad Casablanca, here we go!
