With stellar performances for his club Feyenoord Rotterdam, the Fennec has established himself as one of the biggest revelations of the UEFA Champions League.

According to several reliable sources, he is on the radar of a number of European clubs looking to sign him during the summer transfer window.

A family affair

During his interview with the Dutch football website "elfvoetbal," Anis Hadj Moussa revealed the secret behind his mastery of dribbling.

My father is passionate about dribbling, and we spent a lot of time on the pitch trying out different technical moves. My dad helped me tremendously to perfect certain dribbles, and I owe him a lot for developing my technical skills during my childhood. Some people criticize me for dribbling too much, but I don't do it for fun—it's primarily to create dangerous chances for my team.

Anis Hadj Moussa's season in numbers

The 23-year-old has featured in 43 matches across all competitions this 2024-2025 season, netting 11 goals and delivering 5 assists.

He has contributed to 4 goals (goals and assists) in 11 appearances in the CAF Champions League.

His market value has soared on the "Transfermarkt" transfer market, reaching 14 million euros.

As a reminder, he took part in Thursday's match against Rwanda during the June international break.
