Algeria midfielder Houssem Aouar has completed a permanent transfer from AS Roma to Karim Benzema's Al-Ittihad, the Saudi Pro League club said on Tuesday.

The Algeria international has signed a four-year deal with Laurent Blanc's side.

"Welcome Aouar," Al-Ittihad posted on X.

The former Olympique Lyonnais player will join N'Golo Kante and Fabinho in the Al-Ittihad midfield.

The 26-year-old played one game for France - a friendly against Ukraine in 2020 - before switching allegiance last year to Algeria, where his parents were born.
