Rising Star Bilal El Khannouss Attracts European Club Interest After World Cup Debut

Even though Bilal El Khannouss was only lined up for the third-place match, in the match that pitted Morocco against Croatia, he managed to attract attention. And even more interestingly, he learned by watching his teammates play.

"Since the World Cup, I have to admit that my life has changed a bit. A World Cup is not just anything, it’s the biggest event in the world. I’m very proud to have participated in it and to have been able to play a match," the player told Het Laatste Nieuws.

He says he is focused on his goals, the most urgent of which is to work harder to make a name for himself. "It’s my agents who are looking at what’s best for me. As for me, I’m focusing on Genk and I just want to play football and have fun. Having fun is the goal of football and that’s the case here at Genk," he stressed.
