Houssem Aouar

Houssem Aouar is one of those midfielders who makes you genuinely sad about what might have been at the highest level. He came through Lyon's academy — one of the best youth setups in Europe — and for a few seasons he was being whispered about as a future Ballon d'Or contender, with the kind of vision that makes you lean forward in your seat. After seven loyal seasons at Lyon, he took a step to Roma in 2023 before landing in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Ittihad. He chose to represent Algeria internationally, which I respect — and he's been a genuine creative force for the Desert Foxes. Still only in his late twenties, the story isn't over, but you can't help feeling the peak years are slipping by faster than they should for a talent this clean.
