Boussa boon for Utrecht

Feyenoord forward Ali Boussaboun joined Utrecht on loan on transfer deadline day.

Feyenoord's out-of-favour forward Ali Boussaboun has joined Utrecht on loan for the rest of the season.

Boussaboun spent a period on trial at Premiership side Blackburn last month, but Rovers failed to press ahead with a deal.

The Moroccan born front-man appeared set to spend the remainder of the season at De Kuip, but Utrecht stepped in on transfer deadline day.

And a deal was quickly wrapped up for the 27-year-old who shot to prominence with NAC Breda before clinching a switch to Rotterdam.

Utrecht moved for Boussaboun after sanctioning the sale of striker Marc-Antoine Fortune to Nancy.

Utrecht lost another player deadline day, as Darl Douglas joined Maritimo.
