The Moroccan international Bilal Khenous, a midfielder for Leicester City, has become the focus of several major English clubs during the ongoing summer transfer window, following his remarkable performance last season, both at his club and with the Moroccan national team.

According to journalist Pete O'Rourke via Football Insider, Nottingham Forest has placed Khenous on its list of priorities to replace the anticipated departure of star Morgan Gibbs-White to Tottenham Hotspur, in a deal that has sparked much controversy due to the London club's intention to activate the contract release clause, valued at £60 million, which Nottingham's management considers an illegal move.

In a related context, other media reports have indicated that newly promoted Sunderland to the Premier League has entered negotiations to sign Khenous, and his name has previously been linked with Arsenal and West Ham United due to the outstanding performances he has delivered with Leicester City.

Bilal Khenous had a remarkable season in the midfield of the 'Foxes', playing a pivotal role in the team's system, and he has maintained his regular presence with the Moroccan national team, having participated in 21 international matches so far, reflecting his stability and continuous development.

Khenous is 20 years old and is considered one of the most promising talents in European football, thanks to his technical skills and distinctive field vision, making him an attractive target for clubs looking to strengthen their midfield with a player who possesses promising talent and a bright future.
