Ayyoub Bouaddi is one of the brightest young midfielders currently playing in Europe, and could very well be a household name by the end of the World Cup if Morocco do well. 

He plays for Lille and has enjoyed a real breakout season which has earned him a call up to the World Cup squad for Morocco. He was uncapped until a recent friendly against Madagascar in which he played 45 minutes and generally impressed.

I’m mainly going by the price for this gem, it’s as short as 1.44 with bet365 - who usually are market leaders when it comes to pricing player props. We’re getting 2.0 for him to have a single shot here with Sky Bet, backed by a decent shot record for Lille across the 25/26 season.

Bouaddi should have licence to get forward here, given that his midfield partner is Sofyan Amrabat, who is very defensively minded. Bouaddi’s main skill is being able to travel with the ball; he’s very mature for an 18-year-old, and that shows in his playstyle. He took 16 shots for Lille during the regular season, working out to an average of 0.62 shots per 90.
