El-Arabi is a Moroccan international but was born in Caen and scored 17 goals for his hometown club last season which attracted the attention of the two-times Asian Champions League winners.

Riyadh club Al-Hilal are thought to have spent seven million euros (£6.2m) on the 24-year-old who still had two years to run on his contract in France.
