Transfer Scoop: Raja Casablanca Signs Nigerian Forward Mathias Oyewusi

Raja Casablanca, the Moroccan powerhouse, has officially announced the signing of Nigerian striker Mathias Oyewusi in the ongoing January transfer window, in a move aimed at boosting their attacking options this season.

The club confirmed the deal via its Facebook page, stating that 26-year-old Oyewusi has joined the squad officially and is set to train with teammates ahead of competitive fixtures.

Before arriving in Morocco, Oyewusi plied his trade in Slovenia, Lithuania, France and Ukraine, gaining experience across leagues and styles, before stepping through Raja Casablanca's doors.

Raja Casablanca sits fourth in the Botola Pro League with 15 points, five adrift of leaders Wydad Casablanca, signaling that the newcomer's arrival could offer a much-needed spark as the season unfolds.

Note: the only thing quicker than his crosses might be his passport stamps. If he starts scoring, the net will file for unemployment due to overwork.

Punchline: If his goals arrive on time, Raja Casablanca will finally know what punctuality looks like—goals on schedule, not on strikes.
