Moroccan International Achraf Bencherki Joins Egyptian Giants Zamalek on 3-Year Deal

"Zamalek", the club of the former Egyptian international, Hossam Hassan, opens its doors to Achraf Bencherki. The arrival of the Moroccan international on the benches of the Egyptian club, which has won five Champions Leagues, has just been made official. The new recruit of the "Zamalek" has already joined the squad.

With 8 caps to his name with the Moroccan national team, the former member of the "Reds" was selected to defend the colors of the "Atlas Lions" against the "Elephants" of Côte d’Ivoire, for the qualification to the 2018 World Cup. Unfortunately, for unknown reasons, Achraf Bencherki had not been called up by Hervé Renard during the competitions in Russia.

Under contract with "Al Hilal" (Saudi Arabia), the winner of the CAF Champions League with "Wydad", was loaned to the French team "RC Lens". Bencherki scored 3 goals this season and provided 1 assist in 23 Ligue 2 matches, 11 of which were played as a starter. In his new club, the Moroccan international joins his compatriots Khalid Boutayeb and Hamid Ahaddad.
