Manchester City's Midfield Swoop: Ayyoub Bouaddi and the New Era of Transfer Frenzy Manchester City has set its sights on Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, an 18 year old Moroccan wonderkid who made a name for himself at the World Cup.
The news comes as a significant development in what promises to be a busy summer for the Etihad club under new manager Enzo Maresca. Bouaddi's rapid rise to prominence is nothing short of meteoric.
Despite being just 18, he started all but one of Morocco's matches at the World Cup and impressed with his performances against top tier opponents like Brazil.
