Victor Orta has revealed he has received messages from Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani about Morocco’s World Cup star Azzedine Ounahi. The 22-year-old has been one of the ‘breakout’ players of the tournament, according to the Whites’ sporting director, helping his country to the semi-finals in Qatar.
Ounahi plays his club football in France with Ligue 1 side Angers and his talents went under the radar in the build-up to the tournament. However, he has been a key man in Walid Regragui’s side and his performances alongside the likes of Sofyan Amrabat and Selim Amallah in the middle of the park have caught the eye.
Radrizzani is one of those to have taken notice of Ounahi at the World Cup and according to Orta, he has been keen to learn more about him.
