Tottenham Targets World Cup Star Amrabat to Bolster Midfield

Monstrous in Qatar with the Moroccan national team, the defensive midfielder would be on the radar of several European clubs, including Tottenham. He was one of the main architects of Morocco’s historic qualification. His name is increasingly associated with Antonio Conte’s Spurs, to form a formidable pair in midfield with Uruguayan Rodrigo Betancourt.

The 26-year-old player has exploded in popularity by shining in every match of Morocco at the World Cup. A key piece of Walid Regragui’s system, Sofyan Amrabat is already considered one of the best players in the competition. For some observers, Tottenham should make him their new Luka Modric (2008-2012). Despite his age, the former Spurs is still making a sensation in the same competition.

A small comparison between the figures of the two men still in the running for the grail, and it reveals that their statistics are incredibly similar. The Moroccan prodigy has won 52.94% of his ground duels against 54.41% for Modric. As for ball recoveries every 90 minutes, Amrabat is credited with 7.7 against 7.3 for the Croatian veteran, demonstrating their ability to disrupt and read the game effectively.

To carry out this transfer, so dear to the club’s supporters, Tottenham should spend around 30 million pounds sterling. The Moroccan is under contract with Fiorentina until 2026.
