It was a matter of time before that happened. The progression and performance of striker Khalid Noureddine, 18, with Figueres a couple of seasons ago that do not leave anyone indifferent. After exploiting this year being the youngest player in the National League with 14 goals in 12 games and having made his debut with the first team in the Third RFEF -he had his first chance in the Third Division in 2020-21-, the altempordanès has signed for the Granada branch. This was announced yesterday by the white-and-blue club, which has reached an agreement with the Andalusians for the transfer of the player from the summer of 2022.
“He is the cornerstone of the team and performs at the level he deserves. Every year at Figueres he has excelled as a scorer, having the interest of other clubs. She has always been committed to him because he has a lot of dedication. If things work out for him, it’s because he’s looking for it “, comments the coach of youth team A, Gregorio Gálvez Yoyo. Starting next summer, Khalid will make a leap in his career as a footballer in Granada (in his subsidiary), where the figure of David Comamala from Figueres as technical secretary of the structure led by the American sports director Pep Boada has been key to closing his signing.
Arnau Fàbrega, the precedent
The transfer of Khalid to Granada follows in the footsteps of Arnau Fàbrega from Llançà, who landed at the Nazarene club in 2017 from the Figueres base. Fàbrega currently plays for the Las Palmas branch.
