Hakim Ziyech has moved to a new address. The Moroccan winger has joined Qatari side Al-Duhail on a free transfer from Turkish club Galatasaray.

Qatar Star League club Al-Duhail announced the signing of 31-year-old Ziyech on Thursday. Ziyech joined Galatasaray on loan from Chelsea in August 2023. The Turkish club later bought him permanently.
