Bouaddi draws Arsenal and Busquets praise as Scotland looms

Scotland on Saturday, and the group is wide open

Your next game is Saturday, June 20, against Scotland in Group C (1). That Brazil draw changed everything. A result here puts Morocco in real control of the group. The Scots won their opener, so both teams arrive with momentum.

Arsenal leading the Bouaddi race at £80m

Ayyoub Bouaddi ran the game against Brazil. He is 18. Now Arsenal are reportedly ahead of Chelsea in the chase, with Fabrizio Romano confirming sporting director Andrea Berta is pushing hard to close it (2). The number being quoted is £80m. PSG are also watching, but Arsenal look the most serious right now (2). Lille hold the cards.

Bouaddi, the Busquets comparison

Dutch analysts Willem and Wessel put it plainly after the Brazil game: Bouaddi is not like Frenkie de Jong. He is more of a Sergio Busquets type, the one who dictates tempo, reads everything early, makes the whole midfield tick (3). That is the profile Europe's biggest clubs see. And he just did it on a World Cup stage at 18.
