Angers midfielder Azzedine Ounahi has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks.
The 22-year-old had a stellar World Cup campaign, helping Morocco reach the semi-finals of the competition.
According to a report from transfersPremier League clubs Newcastle United and West Ham United are interested in signing the central midfielder and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a concrete offer in the coming weeks.
Ounahi was excellent during the World Cup and showed that he has the ability to succeed at the highest level.
Newcastle could certainly use more quality in their central midfield, and the Moroccan international could prove to be a quality signing in the long run. The 22-year-old is far from his prime and it is likely that he will improve further with training and experience.
On the other hand, West Ham have had a disappointing campaign so far and will be looking to turn things around in the second half of the season. A signing like Ounahi could transform them into the midfield.
The 22-year-old would add some much-needed creativity and flair in the middle and could form a quality partnership with England international Declan Rice.
