En-Nesyri signs to CD Leganés

The Moroccan player leaves the Club after training within The MCF Academy and playing with the first team for the past two seasons. The striker is moving to CD Leganés in LaLiga Santander.

Youssef En-Nesyri arrived at Málaga CF at ‘juvenil’ age from the Mohamed VI Academy in Morocco. In the 2015/16 campaign he alternated between Atlético Malagueño and the Juvenil División de Honor, winning Spain’s Copa de Campeones with the latter.

In 2016/17 he consolidated his place on the first team, taking part in 13 matches in LaLiga and 2 in the Copa del Rey, scoring a memorable goal at La Rosaleda against Eibar. That season En-Nesyri accumulated 15 international appearances with the Morocco national team, competing in the Africa Cup in Gabon and reaching the quarter-finals (4 games, 1 goal).

Last season En-Nesyri scored 4 goals in 25 LaLiga Santander games, and was again called-up by Morocco to take part in the Russia World Cup in which he scored a great header against Spain in the first stage.

The Blue and Whites’ Club wishes Youssef En-Nesyri lots of luck in this new stage in his professional career.
