Mikel Arteta asked to sign amazing Morocco star immediately

Arsenal fans have urged manager Mikel Arteta to sign Morocco star Ayyoub Bouaddi after Morocco’s 1-1 draw with Brazil at the World Cup.

Morocco made a strong start in Group C when Real Madrid forward Brahim Diaz set up Ismael Saibari, who calmly lifted the ball over Brazil goalkeeper Alisson to score.

The Africa Cup of Nations champions controlled much of the first 30 minutes. However, Brazil equalised in the 32nd minute through a brilliant goal from Vinicius Junior.

Brazil played better after that, but Morocco nearly won the match in stoppage time when Neil El Aynaoui was denied twice by Alisson.

The draw gave both teams a point and put them in a good position to reach the knockout stage. Four points could be enough to secure a place in the Round of 32.

Before the match, much of the attention was on players such as Vinicius, Raphinha, and Brahim. However, Morocco also had an important debut in their team.

One of the big stories before the World Cup was Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi’s decision to switch his international allegiance from France to Morocco. He had previously captained France at youth level.

Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi gave the 18-year-old a place in the starting lineup, and he impressed throughout the match in New York.

Bouaddi often dropped deep to collect the ball, directed his teammates where to pass, and regularly carried the ball forward.

He completed 91 percent of his passes, won four tackles, made five interceptions, and recorded six ball recoveries.

His strong all-round performance quickly caught the attention of Arsenal fans, who believe he would be a great signing for the club.

One fan wrote on Twitter: “If we pair Rice and Bouaddi, then we go back-to-back champions.”

A second said: “Ayyoub Bouaddi will be a perfect fit for Mikel Arteta at Arsenal and I’m desperate to have him.”

A third added: “This is the first time I have seen Bouaddi play and I think he’s very Arteta coded.”

“Arteta wanting Bouaddi from last season shows just how great his talent ID is,” another wrote. “Imagine if we had gotten him.”

And a fifth stated: “Bouaddi is the perfect Arteta player – can play multiple positions very well and only 18 years of age, will only go and get better.”
