Arsenal fans were so impressed by Ayyoub Bouaddi’s performance in Morocco’s World Cup clash against Brazil.
The 18-year-old is one of the hottest young prospects in Europe, and Lille will be delighted to see him shine on the world’s biggest stage.
One TalkingPoints user wants Bouaddi at Arsenal, how would YOU feel about this move?
Bouaddi produced an impressive display in the middle of the park for the Atlas Lions against Brazil, despite being the youngest player on the pitch.
The Gunners are among the clubs chasing the Moroccan youngster, and now the club’s supporters are firmly backing them to sign him.
Arsenal fans are now eager to sign Ayyoub Bouaddi
Arsenal fans believe that Andrea Berta should be really pushing the boat out to sign Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi this summer.
Alan Shearer was also super impressed by the 18-year-old’s performance, and he told BBC Sport: “Yeah, he’s impressed me!”
Arsenal have been in regular contact with Bouaddi, and they could need to accelerate their efforts if his performance versus Brazil was anything to go by.
Paris Saint-Germain are the other club on his trail, and it was clear why he is so highly rated around Europe.
After watching the teenager’s performance against Brazil, Arsenal fans are certain he would be a great addition this summer.
- “Ayyoub Bouaddi looks like a real talent. Would love to see him in north London if tonight’s performance so far is anything to go by.
- “There’s no surprise that top clubs want Bouaddi. This guy is generational.”
- “We need to chuck the €60-70m, whatever, for Bouaddi by tomorrow, and have him wrapped. He’s even better than I thought.”
- “Bouaddi is insane. Forget Mateus Fernandes and everyone else. He’s the one for Arsenal.”
- “What a first half from Ayyoub Bouaddi! He is still only 18! You understand why PSG and Arsenal want to sign him this summer. Lille have set the price at around 60-70m euros!”
- “He might be adding value to his price tag now, but what a player, so calm, and he reminds me of younger Rodri the way he plays, but not as good yet.”
Lille are understood to value the midfielder at around £60 million, and he certainly looks like he is worth the hype.
Berta will need to start pulling the strings behind the scenes quickly if the Gunners are to stand a chance of getting him.
