Born in Brussels, Azzaoui started playing football with R.S.C. Anderlecht.[2][3] In 2015, he joined VfL Wolfsburg from Tottenham Hotspur for a transfer fee of reportedly €500,000 and made his Bundesliga debut on 21 November 2015 against Werder Bremen. He substituted Daniel Caligiuri after 76 minutes in a 6–0 home win.[4]
In early August 2017, Azzaoui was transferred to Dutch Eredivisie club Willem II for a season-long loan.[5] After his return to Wolfsburg, Azzaoui suffered a second major knee injury and was out for the whole 2018-19 season.[6] On 27 October 2020 Azzaoui signed a one-year contract with Dutch side Heracles Almelo.[7] On 1 December 2021 in a match against Feyenoord, Azzaoui suffered the third major knee injury of his career. One day later on 2 December 2021 it was announced he would miss the remainder of the 2021-22 season.[8]
On 11 October 2022, Azzaoui returned to Heracles until the end of the season, with an option to extend for two more seasons.[9]
He is of Moroccan ancestry and plays for the Belgium U17 team.[3]
