Yakubu Mohammed has officially completed his switch to Raja Casablanca of Morocco.
The 25-year-old Ghanaian international passed his medicals on Wednesday before signing to a three-year contract 24 hours later.
Yakubu, who scored 11 league and one FA Cup goals for leaders AshantiGold in the soon-to-end Ghanaian top flight season, joined the club based on the recommendation of new Raja manager Ruud Krol.
The Dutch coach knew about Yakubu Mohammed’s abilities during his stint in South Africa with Maritzburg United. At the time, Krol was manager of Orlando Pirates.
Yakubu follows former Maritzburg teammate Awal as the second Ghanaian to be signed by the Casablanca-based club this summer.
Raja, who finished eighth in the Moroccan League last season, are also on the verge of signing Ghana's current Premier League top scorer Nathaniel Asamoah. The forward, who has scored 18 goals this season, is only a medical away from joining the North Africans after having a bid accepted by his club Medeama SC.
Asamoah is currently processing his visa in order to travel to Morocco for his mandatory medical tests.
