Playing Style and Assessment
Starting senior professional football at 15 points to exceptional physical and technical maturity at a young age. He provides a dual contribution from the left wing, capable of both scoring and assisting. Concrete interest from a major European club (Celtic) shows his potential is recognised internationally.
Strengths
- Early productivity — Reaching the first team at 15 and producing 76 appearances with 19 goals/11 assists points to maturity well beyond his age.
- Concrete interest from Europe — Reported tracking by Celtic and Monterrey shows his potential is recognised on the international stage.
- Dual-threat winger contribution — A left-winger profile capable of both scoring and assisting adds attacking versatility.
- Resale potential — At 19 and with high transfer interest, he carries real resale value for the club.
Areas for Development
- Short-term contract structure — The loan appearing to end in late 2026 (with a buy option) leaves his long-term club status uncertain.
- Adapting to Botola Pro — The move from South America to North Africa is still early in terms of physical/climate adaptation.
Level Within Botola Pro
Verdict: A young left winger with high resale value, watched by Europe; competitive for the first team in Botola Pro.
