Fayçal Fajr Joins Deportivo La Coruña on Three-Year Deal
Deportivo La Coruña have officially announced the signing of Fayçal Fajr from Elche CF, confirming a move that had been widely anticipated in recent weeks. The 27-year-old French-Moroccan midfielder has committed to a three-season contract with the Galician club, marking his continued presence in La Liga following Elche’s relegation to the Segunda División.
Fajr, who was keen to stay in Spain’s top flight, expressed his excitement at the transfer. “I’m very happy. I’ve been waiting to join this club for a long time,” he told Mountakhab.net. “I hope to do good things this season.”
Born in Rouen, France, Fajr began his career with clubs such as Fréjus and Caen before moving to Spain in 2014 to join Elche. Despite the club’s struggles, he was one of the more consistent performers last season, making 34 appearances, including 29 starts, and scoring one goal.
This move to Deportivo offers Fajr a fresh opportunity to shine at a club with a rich history and ambitions of re-establishing itself in the top half of the Spanish table. His technical ability and versatility in midfield will be welcomed by the Deportivo coaching staff as they look to reinforce their squad ahead of the new campaign.
