Did you know?
He’s nicknamed Roi Lion D’Atlas – the Atlas Lion King.
What’s the deal?
The goalscoring winger – he bagged 20 goals in 68 appearances for Heerenveen – has sealed his move to Anfield subject to the formality of passing a medical.
The Morocco international was available on the cheap as he had just 12 months left on his contract with the Dutch club. He’s expected to more than double his current pay packet with a deal worth around £20,000-a-week at Anfield.
What do they say?
“I accept there’s quite a large chance that Oussama will leave, probably to Galatasaray.”
Heerenveen coach Marco Van Basten.
