El Kachati (25) impressed this season at Telstar with 19 goals in the competition and another 5 in the play-offs. Earlier, in an interview with NH, he told him to be a step to a higher level. Shortly after the win in the play-offs against Willem II, he immediately announced his departure at the club from Velsen-Zuid.
Also German interest
The German Hannover 96 also had serious interest in rush hour, but El Kachati continues his career in Nijmegen. Director Player Affairs Carlos Aalbers of NEC is very happy that the player has chosen the Nijmegen residents,
“We have shown all our interest in Youssef well before the play-offs and had a first conversation,” says Aalbers on The club website of NEC. “With his big contribution in the last matches for Telstar, he finally put himself on the map and became enormous for him. We are happy that we were able to bring him to NEC”
Public favorite
Aalbers expects El Kachati to also grow into a public favorite in Nijmegen. “We think we get a player with this who is very goal -oriented and will also catch on with the supporters with his work.”
In total, El Kachati came into action 67 times for Telstar, in which he scored 31 goals and gave 9 assists.
