The 32-time capped Moroccan international joined the Ukrainian giants in 2013 from Montpellier, where he won Ligue 1 in 2011-12 alongside the likes of Olivier Giroud and Remy Cabella. The French-born midfielder was also named to the Ligue 1 Team of the Year that season and captured Young Player of the Year honours as well.
