Yousouff Hadji completes move to Al Arabi

Youssouf Hadji has completed a move to Qatari club Al Arabi after leaving French side Rennes.

The 32-year-old Moroccan international, who plays as an attacking midfielder, scored seven goals for the French Ligue 1 outfit last season.

Hadji will be managed at Al Arabi by Frenchman Pierre Lechantre, who recently turned down the chance to coach Senegal.

The seven-time Qatar league winners finished fourth last season.

Hadji will join up with the Al Arabi squad on 7 July and is set to play in the Sheikh Jassim Cup, which kicks off on 25 July.
