Born in France to Moroccan parents, the young midfielder is eligible to don the jerseys of both the “Bleus” and the “Atlas Lions”.

In a statement to the French site “So Foot”, the 17-year-old prodigy spoke about his international future.

For now, I'm with the France youth team and I feel good. And to tell you the whole truth, my only decision right now is to give myself time to choose.
