Championship: Othmane Maamma struggling at Watford

Moroccan prodigy Othmane Maamma is still searching for a breakthrough at his English club Watford.

Signed during the last summer transfer window from Montpellier, the young winger has struggled to make his mark with the Hornets.

He has only featured in two matches, logging less than 47 minutes on the pitch against Ipswich Town and Bristol City in the Championship, without managing to score or provide an assist.

This limited playing time has not helped his case for inclusion in Walid Regragui's plans, the coach of the Atlas Lions, during the most recent international break.

Othmane Maamma’s record with Morocco U20

The Alès-born talent was a key architect in the Lion Cubs’ triumph at the last U20 World Cup.

In 28 appearances for the junior national team, he notched 5 goals and delivered 7 assists.

Named the best player of the U20 World Cup, Othmane Maamma was recently crowned African Young Player of the Year.
