Souffian El Karouani is a Moroccan left-back, born on 19 October 2000 (age 25), currently with Al-Qadsiah. His most productive league season came at NEC Nijmegen in 2020–21, when he scored three goals in 38 appearances.
That NEC spell remains the clearest marker in his career to date: a regular full-back with enough output to be noticed, without needing the usual transfer-window embroidery. His current market value is around £13m, according to Transfermarkt.
El Karouani’s career has moved from a substantial period at NEC Nijmegen to Al-Qadsiah, where he is primarily used on the left side of defence. At 25, he is an established first-team player rather than a prospect still being talked into shape.
