"When I speak to scouts and recruitment staff in the Premier League, every major club mentions Bouaddi. There is not a more talked-about player in Europe than him. In England, there are the likes of Wharton and Anderson, but in Europe, Bouaddi is the name on everyone's lips, and the battle to land him is already ongoing. I am told Arsenal and Liverpool are among the most interested - they love the player - but they are far from alone."
"Lille know they have a generational talent on their hands. When you speak to sources close to the club, they mention Eden Hazard's name and believe Bouaddi is capable of reaching that level. But now that he has turned 18, they realise it is unlikely he will remain after this season."
Ayyoub Bouaddi is an 18-year-old Lille midfielder who made his first-team debut at 16 and has attracted widespread interest from Premier League clubs. Arsenal and Liverpool are particularly interested, while Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have also expressed interest. Premier League recruitment networks regard him as one of the most talked-about young players in Europe. Lille consider him a generational talent, with comparisons made to Eden Hazard, and recognize that his recent 18th birthday makes a summer departure increasingly likely. Multiple clubs are engaged in an ongoing battle to sign him.
