Who is this?

Oussama Assaidi (Berber languages: ⵓⵙⴰⵎⴰ ⴰⵙⴰⵄⵉⴷⵉ; Arabic: أسامة السعيدي; born 15 August 1988) is a Moroccan former footballer who played as a winger. Assaidi began his career in the Netherlands with AZ. After failing to earn a contract with AZ, he played with second tier club FC Omniworld and then De Graafschap before joining Heerenveen in 2009. His performances at the Abe Lenstra Stadion earned him international recognition with the Morocco national team and also attracted the attention of bigger European clubs. Assaidi signed with English Premier League side Liverpool in August 2012 for a fee of £2.4 million. He struggled to break into the first team at Anfield, however, and joined Stoke City on loan for the 2013–14 and 2014–15 seasons, before being sold to Al-Ahli Dubai in January 2015. A full international since 2011, Assaidi represented Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations in 2012 and 2013.
