Karim Lagrouch Ittihad Tanger Scouting Report
Karim Lagrouch
Quick Answer
Lagrouch is a 26-year-old Moroccan centre-forward who joined Ittihad Tanger from Jeunesse Sportive de Soualem in January 2026. His stoppage-time goal in a 3-0 win over Moghreb Tétouan during the 2025-26 Botola Pro season is a concrete example of an ability to contribute in decisive moments. That goal, scored in limited minutes, is not yet a large sample, but it is a positive signal.

Playing Style and Assessment
The available statistic (1 goal in 81 minutes) is too small a sample for a firm finishing assessment; however, scoring in a decisive match during stoppage time is a positive sign of composure under pressure. Broader public match footage from the Botola Pro is not available, so more observation is needed on his movement quality and positioning in the box.
Strengths
- Contribution in decisive moments — Scoring during stoppage time points to composure under pressure.
- Age and development window — At 26, he is still in the middle of his development curve as a centre-forward.
- Contract security — A deal running to 2028 suggests the club sees him as part of its medium-term attacking planning.
Areas for Development
- Small sample size — Public statistics are extremely limited (1 goal in 81 minutes); no general finishing judgement can be drawn from this data.
- Uncertainty at Ittihad Tanger — How often he will play and his goal contribution at his new club have not yet been observed.
Level Within Botola Pro
Verdict: A rotation/starting-XI candidate centre-forward in the Botola Pro; the final read depends on in-season goal and minutes data.
