Scouting Report & Player Insights
Mohamed Amine Ihattaren is a technically gifted Dutch central midfielder now trying to rebuild his career at Fortuna Sittard after a turbulent few years. Once hailed as one of Europe's brightest teenage talents at PSV and Ajax, he possesses an excellent first touch, tight close control, and genuine passing vision, but off-field issues, fitness lapses, and a string of unsuccessful loan spells (including at Juventus, Sampdoria, and Ankaragucu) derailed his progress. At Fortuna Sittard he is essentially a reclamation project, with scouts watching to see whether the old creative spark and end product can return with consistent minutes.
Regarded as one of the most promising Dutch talents of his generation as a teenager at PSV Eindhoven.
His career stalled after leaving PSV for Juventus, with subsequent spells at Sampdoria and Ajax that did not work out.
Has been trying to revive his career in the Eredivisie after several disrupted seasons abroad.
