Raja Casablanca Target Algerian League Top‑Scorer Ebossé Bodjongo
Raja Casablanca have set their sights on Cameroonian striker Albert Ebossé Bodjongo after his prolific campaign in Algeria, where he finished as the league’s top scorer with 17 goals.
Newly appointed coach Abdelhak Benchikha is keen to add firepower as the Moroccan giants look to reclaim domestic dominance next season. Club officials have opened talks with the 24‑year‑old’s representatives, hoping to tempt him away from JS Kabylie, where his goals were instrumental in a strong league run.
Bodjongo’s form has alerted several North African clubs, but Raja believe their ambition—and the lure of Botola Pro title contention—can give them the edge. “We want a striker who can decide matches,” a source close to the club told local media. “Ebossé fits that profile perfectly.”
Raja have already moved quickly in the transfer market, securing midfielder Yassine El Gnaoui from AS Salé and veteran playmaker Issam Aqqal from AS FAR. Benchikha sees Bodjongo as the final piece in a revamped attack designed to challenge defending champions Moghreb Tétouan and rivals Wydad Casablanca.
If the deal is completed, Bodjongo would become the latest high‑profile foreign import to the Moroccan top flight, following a trend that has raised the league’s competitive standards in recent seasons. Negotiations are expected to accelerate in the coming days as Raja aim to have their squad settled before pre‑season begins.
