Bilal El Khannouss is a quick, inventive attacking midfielder who developed into one of Belgian football's most exciting prospects at Genk before joining Leicester. Comfortable operating between the lines or wide, he possesses the close control and directness to unsettle defences in transition — attributes that suit Morocco's counter-attacking style perfectly. Now at Stuttgart in the Bundesliga, he is gaining the top-level European experience to match his considerable talent. Still only 22, El Khannouss is part of the generation that could carry the Atlas Lions' ambitions well beyond this tournament.
