The former Wydad player joined the Greek giant in 2023 after his contract with the Qatari club Al Sadd expired.

Despite his impressive form, he set an unfortunate record in the current edition of the Europa League.

The offside king

The Moroccan star holds the top spot in the ranking of players who have fallen into the offside trap in Europe's second most prestigious club competition.

Ayoub El Kaabi was caught offside an average of 1.8 times per match, the highest rate in the competition.

This negative figure reflects the playing style of the Moroccan star, who likes to ask for the ball in the depth of the opponent's defense.

Ayoub El Kaabi's stats for the 2024-2025 season

The Moroccan star made 40 appearances across all competitions this season, contributing to 29 goals.

He is the second top scorer in the Greek league with 15 goals, just one behind Spanish leader Jefté Betancor.

He is also the top scorer of the current Europa League edition, tied with Danish Kaspar Hogg, with 7 goals.

His market value is estimated at 5 million euros on Transfermarkt.
