"A useful bellwether for young players is assessing not how much they get right, but how little they get wrong and Bouaddi's accuracy in his passing, positioning and receiving is a great, big tick in the 17-year-old midfielder's box. It mustn't be overlooked, either, how Bouaddi is more robust on the floor than most central midfielders, never mind players of a similar age to him."
"He's a big-bodied ball-carrier in the middle of the park, covers lots of ground in short bursts and beats the first line of a press with his ability to create separations from opponents, leveraging his athletic frame to great effect."
Ayyoub Bouaddi joined Lille's academy at 14 and was starting semi-regularly for Lille shortly after his 16th birthday. He displays high accuracy in passing, positioning and receiving. He is more robust on the floor than most central midfielders, especially for his age. He is a big-bodied ball-carrier who covers lots of ground in short bursts and can beat the first line of a press by creating separations from opponents. He leverages his athletic frame effectively in Lille's possession-heavy side and is seeing plenty of the ball, gaining experience of professional-game pressures without visible concern.
