Youssef Aymen has become Al Ahly’s first summer signing, joining the team on a season-long loan with an option to make the deal permanent.
At 25 years old, this talented individual, who honed their skills at the prestigious Aspire Academy in Qatar, made a significant move to join Al-Duhail’s youth teams in 2017.
Marcel Koller, the coach, has been looking for a new defender for some time. After losing Zineddine Belaid to Sint-Truidense, the club chose Aymen instead.
Aymen, who holds Egyptian citizenship, does not occupy a foreign player spot in the squad. He has played for Al-Duhail, with 59 appearances and five goals, and has earned eight caps with Qatar.
Aymen will become the second Qatari to play for Al Ahly after Hussein Yasser.
He missed out on the 2023 Asian Cup squad but returned to the team in the latest World Cup qualifiers, scoring against India in a 2-1 victory.
