My Take
Eliesse Ben Seghir is one of the most exciting attacking talents I've tracked in recent years. Born in Saint-Tropez in 2005, French-raised but proudly representing Morocco, he plays with a directness and creativity that lights up the left side. His move to the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen tells you that serious clubs see the same flashes I do; the dribbling, the late runs, the willingness to take a game by the scruff. For Morocco he feels like part of a golden generation building on that World Cup run. I genuinely think he's only scratching the surface of his potential.
