At 18 years old, this versatile midfielder is a pure product of the PSV Eindhoven youth academy, which he joined as early as the under-11 category. Bound to the Dutch club by a contract, he has built a solid reputation thanks to his ability to perform with ease in both offensive and defensive roles.

Winner of the Otten Innovation Cup with the under-18 section, he now wears the captain’s armband of the PSV under-19s. His constant evolution has also allowed him to discover the professional world this season, during which he has recorded three substitute appearances with the first team.

The arrival of Benjamin Khaderi is part of a broader strategic movement led by the Moroccan federation. He is indeed part of a contingent of five young dual-national talents playing in the Netherlands, including his teammate Sami Bouhoudane and midfielder Ayoub Ouarghi, who have all recently decided to tie their international future to the Atlas Lions.
