Even if France win the World Cup, letting Ayyoub Bouaddi choose Morocco will be something they’ll regret for years. After coming through every French youth team, the 18yo midfielder switched to Morocco just weeks before the tournament. Now he's one of the breakout stars of the World Cup. Against Brazil, Bouaddi schooled Casemiro and Bruno Guimarães, completing more passes and winning more duels. He’s also the youngest player in Lille's history to reach 50 Ligue 1 appearances. And he's just as good off the pitch. Bouaddi graduated high school with honors at 16, won a public speaking competition, and is studying mathematics because he believes it helps him being sharper on the pitch. With Real Madrid, Arsenal, Liverpool and PSG all interested, he could be one of the biggest transfer of the summer. #soccer #football #WorldCup #Morocco #France
