DOHA (SW) - Swiss striker Hakan Yakin will most probably continue his career in the middle east, to join Qatar based side Al Gharafa.

Yakin, who represented Switzerland at several major tournaments including the recent European Championships, told BSC Young Boys about his imminent departure two weeks ago.

Now it looks like the player is about to secure the deal with Al Gharafa, which only depends on the medical exams he is to undergo first.

BSC, located in Bern, will receive around four million Euros for their 31 year old captain.
