I believe in the club's vision, and I hope to fulfill my potential here." He cites Noussair Mazraoui as his role model and aims to make a significant impact. With 17 appearances for Union Touarga Sportif over the past two seasons and a debut for Morocco against Tanzania in August 2025, Zahouani brings both experience and promise to his new team.
