The signing of the former Al Arabi captain is considered a coup for Al Sadd, with Khoukhi a regular in the Qatar national team. Speaking to the clubs official website, the 26 year old revealed his joy at joining the Wolves. “I’m very happy to play at Al-Sadd. I hope I can impress the management and the fans during the new season.”
Boualem will now join up with his new team-mates ahead of their preparations for the new 2017/2018 QSL season. Al Sadd won both the Qatar & Emir Cup this campaign, and will be hoping that the addition of Khoukhi will further strengthen their title bit next term.
