"We will see" - Lille’s Ayyoub Bouaddi responds to Morocco call-up rumours

Lille wonderkid Ayyoub Bouaddi has responded to reports suggesting he is set to be called up by Morocco for the upcoming international break.

The 18-year-old is eligible to be called up by France or Morocco but has represented France at youth level over the past few seasons.

According to Foot Mercato, the Moroccan football federation is in talks with Bouaddi about confirming his allegiance to the North African country.

The report states that the youngster has given a verbal agreement to represent Morocco after a positive meeting between the federation, Bouaddi, and his family this week.

Speaking on Ligue 1 Plus, he said: “Are we waiting for the squad list (for the international break) now? Morocco or France? There hasn’t been a choice yet, but we will see.”
