Kerala Blasters FC are set to sign a two-year deal with Moroccan player Noah Sadaoui, which will keep him at the club until the end of the Indian Super League 2025-26 season, as per The Bridge.
Noah Sadaoui is currently with FC Goa, having joined the Indian Super League club ahead of the 2022/23 season. In his debut season with the club, he scored nine goals and assisted as many times from 20 appearances in the Indian top-tier league.
The 30-year-old player also scored a couple of goals in three appearances during the Super Cup 2023 for the Gaurs. He scored both goals against Jamshedpur FC in a 3-5 losing cause.
In the ongoing ISL season, the Moroccan player has scored six goals and assisted three in 17 encounters. He scored a couple of goals each against Odisha FC and Mohun Bagan Super Giant, and one goal each against East Bengal FC and new entrants Punjab FC.
He also played three matches in the Kalinga Super Cup 2024 and five matches in the Durand Cup 2023. Noah Sadaoui scored six goals in the Durand Cup and one goal in the Super Cup in the ongoing Indian football season.
