Real Oviedo's sporting department has signed 26-year-old Moroccan-Spanish midfielder Youness Lachhab from Ceuta at no cost as part of its planning for the upcoming season. The club increasingly suspects it will spend that season in the Segunda División. The acquisition is considered to fit the profile of a project designed to compete for promotion. In the current LaLiga2 season, Lachhab has made 28 appearances, scored 2 goals, and provided 2 assists. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €600k.
