Biography
Omar Rekik (Arabic: عمر رقيق; born 20 December 2001) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Slovenian PrvaLiga club Maribor. Born in the Netherlands, he represents the Tunisia national team.
Early life Born in Helmond, Netherlands to a Tunisian father and a Dutch mother, Rekik was part of several big European clubs during his youth career, following his brother Karim from Feyenoord to Manchester City, then PSV and Marseille, before joining Hertha Berlin in 2017. However, their careers eventually split during the 2020–21 season, as Omar was transferred from the Bundesliga side to Arsenal in January 2021, while Karim joined Spanish side Sevilla a few months earlier.
Club career Ahead of the 2022–23 season, Arsenal sent Rekik on loan to Dutch club Sparta Rotterdam, where he stayed until January 2023, before joining EFL Championship side Wigan Athletic for the remainder of the season. After making eleven league appearances, his loan with the Latics was extended for another half-season until January 2024.
