Promising Moroccan Midfielder Yacine El Amri Signs 3-Year Pro Deal with Valenciennes FC

Presented as a promising talent from the Valenciennes training center, El Amri, who plays as an attacking midfielder, has signed his first pro contract, we learn from La Voix du Nord. Thus, the young prodigy, also capable of playing in the axis or on the right, will prove himself in Ligue 2 next season.

El Amri arrived from Château-Thierry, his hometown in the Aisne. "He then adapted very quickly to the center," said Simon Raux, coach of the U17s and head of the Valenciennes training, who followed his rise.

His passage with the pros was not debated within the Valenciennes training, even if a step will have to be taken, underlines the manager, adding that "he has a lot of qualities, he is fast, he knows how to dribble, score and he is very elegant to see on a pitch."
