Kenyan international and Al Duhail striker Michael Olunga has welcomed Hakim Ziyech to the club following the Moroccan’s move this Thursday, January 30, 2025.

Olunga took to his social media to welcome the former Chelsea and Ajax FC attacker moments after the club announced the transfer.

The player ended his association with Galatasary on mutual consent.

Welcome Hakim, the attacker tweeted.

Ziyech’s entry adds Christophe Galtier’s foreign players roster to nine. The contingent includes Ruben Semedo of Portugal, Argentine keeper Bautista Burke, Ibrahima Diallo and Benjamin Bourigade of France, Ibrahima Bamba of Ivory Coast, Brazilian Lucas Verrisimo, and Luis Alberto of Spain.

His arrival adds a wealth of experience and options to Duhail’s attack as the club continues its march for the league title.

Besides Chelsea, the Dutch-born Moroccan player had stints with Twente and Heerenven in Holland.

His talent came to the fore following his move to Ajax in 2006.  He scored 39 goals in 112 appearances during his four-year stint with the Dutch giants, inspiring them to a domestic league double before leaving for England.

 He moved to Chelsea in 2020, where he lifted the 2021 UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup.
