On the deadline day of the January transfer window, 20-year-old Morrocan Hotman El Kababri is joining Jupiler League side Zulte Waregem from fellow Belgium outfit RSC Anderlecht on a free transfer.
According to Belgium newspaper Het Laatste Niuews, however, Borussia Dortmund have acquired the transfer rights for the young defender, which allows him to join the Bundesliga side without a transfer fee over the next 18 months.
The right-back made his debut for Anderlecht at the first matchday of the 2019-20 season but has only featured in the team’s matchday squad once this season without gathering further playing time.
El Kababri is supposed to pick up more playing time at Zulte Waregem, where he could also be utilised as a centre-back or defensive midfielder.
