Scouting Report & Player Insights

Left-footed wide creator who prefers to operate as an inverted winger or narrow playmaker. Thrives on timing and technique rather than raw pace, shaping the game from the half-space with clever combinations, curling deliveries and set-piece quality. Offers control and chance creation from the flank, while defensive output and aerial presence are limited.

Opted to represent Algeria at senior level despite being born in France.

Known for trademark left-footed curlers from the right half-space that bend beyond the far post.
