**Nordin Amrabat: Breakthrough at Damac**

Nordin Amrabat, the Moroccan footballer who recently signed for the English Premier League club, has made history by becoming the first player from his country to feature in the top flight of European football.

Amrabat, 22, was born in Rabat and began his career with local side, Wydad Casablanca before moving to France to play for Ligue 1 club, Rennes. He impressed there and was then snapped up by Manchester City, where he spent three seasons.

However, Amrabat's time at the Etihad Stadium was short-lived as he struggled to make an impact on the pitch and was eventually sold to AC Milan for €5 million.

After a successful loan spell with Sampdoria, Amrabat joined Italian giants Juventus last year and played a crucial role in their Serie A title win. However, he failed to impress under new manager Massimiliano Allegri and was eventually released by the Turin club.

Despite this setback, Amrabat bounced back to form and was linked with a move to La Liga giants Real Madrid in January. But it was the move to English football that would ultimately prove to be his breakthrough.

Damac, a newly-promoted Premier League team, were reportedly keen on signing Amrabat and he agreed terms on a deal worth £7 million. The Moroccan midfielder is expected to make his debut for the club when they face West Ham United in their opening match of the season.

The move to English football could be a turning point in Amrabat's career and he will hope to establish himself as one of the best young players in Europe. His success in the Premier League could also help raise the profile of Moroccan football and inspire future generations of talent.
