Aris Thessaloniki is set to welcome its 13th signing of the season, Ivorian attacking midfielder Alexander Zaoui. The Greek club has finalized a deal with French side Bastia to acquire the promising young talent.

Zaoui is anticipated to arrive in Thessaloniki by the end of the week. Upon his arrival, he will undergo medical examinations before signing a five-year contract with Aris. This move is aimed at bolstering the team's left-wing position, although Zaoui's primary role is as a central attacking midfielder.
