Bouaddi, 18, is the World Cup breakout star
Ayyoub Bouaddi introduced himself to the world against Brazil. The 18-year-old Lille midfielder, in just his fourth cap for Morocco, ran the midfield with a composure that belied his age, and the Dutch press are calling him the tournament's breakout sensation (1). Brazil had no answer, and the 1–1 draw in the Group C opener already looks like the platform for something bigger. Premier League and La Liga scouts took note, but right now he is yours, and Scotland are next.
