Alan Smith was so impressed by Arsenal target Ayyoub Bouaddi

Alan Smith is backing Ayyoub Bouaddi to become a superstar following his impressive performance in Morocco’s 1-1 draw with Brazil.

The teenager became the second youngest player to feature for Morocco at a World Cup, and he bossed the midfield against Brazil.

Morocco produced a very impressive display against Carlo Ancelotti’s team and were very worthy of a point in their World Cup opener.

Zubimendi and Spain? Saka and England? Saliba and France?

The teenager completed 90 minutes against Brazil, managing 87 touches of the ball and completing 60 passes, with an accuracy of 91 percent.

Meanwhile, Peter Drury also revealed how impressed he was by the youngster, adding: “Amazing!

“Amazing, the second youngest player to ever play for Morocco at a World Cup, and he looked as though he was 28, not 18. He was the boss, wasn’t he?”

Lille want £60 million for Bouaddi, and the youngster proved in the World Cup opener that he could be worth every penny.
