Having enjoyed a stellar season with his Dutch club, FC Utrecht, the former Atlas Lion is highly sought after on the transfer market.

Thanks to a remarkable tally of 16 assists in 36 matches across all competitions, the Den Bosch native has seen his market value soar dramatically, now reaching 15 million euros according to Transfermarkt.

According to the latest reports, the 25-year-old is on the radar of several clubs, including Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Ajax Amsterdam, Olympique de Marseille, Fenerbahçe SK, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, Eintracht Frankfurt, West Ham United, SL Benfica, FC Porto and Beşiktaş JK.

A fantastic reinforcement in prospect for the Moroccan national team ahead of the World Cup finals, even though head coach Walid Regragui is spoiled for choice in this position with both Anas Salaheddine and Noussair Mazraoui also available.
