Arsenal to Rival PSG for Morocco’s Ayyoub Bouaddi After World Cup Spark
Premier League champions Arsenal are leading the chase to sign 18-year-old Morocco midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi following his standout display in the World Cup opener against Brazil. Lille value the youngster at around €70 million, but Arsenal have tracked him since January 2025 and see him as ready for Mikel Arteta’s first team. They face strong competition from Paris Saint-Germain, who are also keen on the highly rated central midfielder. Bouaddi completed 60 passes in Morocco’s 1-1 draw with Brazil, becoming one of the youngest players in decades to hit that mark at a World Cup. His performances have only increased his market value and sparked further talks between Arsenal and his representatives once the tournament ends.
