Moroccan heavyweights Raja Casablanca are on the verge of completing the signing of Nigerian striker Mathias Oyewusi, as the club continues to reinforce its squad ahead of upcoming domestic and continental competitions.
The 26-year-old forward is expected to arrive in Casablanca in the coming days to finalise personal terms and complete the necessary formalities before officially putting pen to paper with the Green Eagles.
Oyewusi is set to add depth, power, and experience to Raja’s attacking line, bringing with him valuable exposure from European football.
The Nigerian has previously featured for Valenciennes FC in France and Kolos Kovalivka in Ukraine, where he competed at a high level and honed his game in demanding leagues.
Known for his physical presence, work rate, and eye for goal, Oyewusi’s impending arrival aligns with Raja Casablanca’s ambition to remain competitive both on the domestic front and in continental tournaments.
Once completed, the move will mark a significant new chapter in the striker’s career, as he joins one of Africa’s most decorated clubs and looks to make his mark in North African football.
