FC Nantes is set to strengthen its attacking line with the imminent arrival of Youssef El-Arabi. The 38-year-old Moroccan international striker, currently a free agent, will sign a one-year deal with the Canaries, as reported by *Ouest-France*.
An experienced addition for the Yellow and Green<\/strong><\/p>\n\n With 47 caps and 16 goals for the Atlas Lions, El-Arabi brings solid top-level experience. A former striker for Caen and Olympiacos, he played last season for APOEL Nicosia, where he scored 14 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n\n Despite being 38 years old, El-Arabi remains a reliable presence in front of goal. His positional sense, finishing ability, and leadership could prove valuable for a Nantes squad in the midst of rebuilding.<\/p>\n\n A return to Ligue 1 more than ten years after Caen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Trained in France and first making a name for himself at Stade Malherbe de Caen between 2008 and 2011, the striker hasn\u2019t played in Ligue 1 since leaving for abroad. His return to the French top flight marks a new chapter in a rich career, highlighted by a prolific spell at Olympiacos, where he scored 112 goals in 207 appearances.<\/p>\n\n With this signing, FC Nantes is betting on an experienced player capable of energizing the attack and guiding the squad\u2019s younger talents.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FC Nantes is set to strengthen its attacking line with the imminent arrival of Youssef El-Arabi.
