Morocco’s Yasser Al-Zabiri named Racing Santander player of the month

Morocco international Yasser Al-Zabiri has been named Racing Santander’s player of the month for August after making an impressive start to life with the Spanish club.

The forward received the award during Monday morning’s training session after his performances since joining Racing Santander from French side Rennes.

Al-Zabiri’s form could strengthen his case for further involvement with the Atlas Lions as he continues to establish himself in Spain.

Five goals in five matches for Racing Santander

The 20-year-old has made an immediate impact for his new club, scoring five goals in his first five matches of the season.

His impressive run includes three hat-tricks, while he also found the net twice in Sunday’s match.

The award recognises the contribution Al-Zabiri has made since arriving from Rennes and highlights his early influence at Racing Santander.

Morocco hopeful continues to attract attention

Al-Zabiri, who came through the Mohammed VI Football Academy, has also gained recognition on the international stage.

He finished as the leading scorer at the Chile Under-20 World Cup, further raising expectations surrounding his development.

His prolific start in Spain now gives the young Moroccan another platform to demonstrate his quality, while his continued performances could increase his chances of featuring more prominently for the senior Atlas Lions.

With five goals already in five appearances, Al-Zabiri will be hoping to maintain his form and strengthen his position among Morocco’s emerging attacking talents.
