Reda Laalaoui, U20 AFCON breakthrough star, set for Hull City move

Morocco U20's rising star, Reda Laalaoui, is on the verge of embarking on his first professional adventure outside Morocco after a dazzling performance at the ongoing U20 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

The FUS Rabat attacking midfielder started two group stage matches:

Against Kenya, where he found the back of the net and helped the Atlas Cubs clinch a 3-2 victory.

Then against Nigeria, in a goalless draw (0-0).

The English Championship beckons

According to Moroccan media, a provisional agreement has been reached between Hull City and FUS Rabat for a transfer in the upcoming summer window. The English club wants to secure the young talent this summer to bolster their Championship squad.

After a standout season with FUS, Reda Laalaoui (19) featured in 23 matches, scored 4 goals, and provided 3 assists—numbers that have naturally attracted interest from several European sides.

Meanwhile, the Morocco U20 team is facing Sierra Leone in the quarter-finals (0-0 ongoing), with ambitions of continuing their journey to continental glory.
