Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool are contending for the signature of Ayyoub Bouaddi, a promising Lille midfielder, valued at around £60 million. Bouaddi's strong performance for Morocco in recent World Cup matches has heightened interest among top clubs. Lille extended his contract until 2029 to protect their asset, as they are under no pressure to sell.

His next appearances with Morocco will draw further scrutiny as teams evaluate their options in the transfer market.
