My Take
Neil El Aynaoui is exactly the kind of player I enjoy tracking early. Born in Nancy in 2001, he came through French football and now lines up as a midfielder for Roma in Serie A while representing Morocco internationally. That dual story, French roots and a Moroccan national-team commitment, gives him a layered identity I find compelling. Breaking into a club with Roma's history and expectations at his age is no small feat. I'm curious to see whether he becomes a midfield anchor for both club and country, because the foundation looks promising and the timing feels right for a breakout.
