Wahbi Opens Door for Ajax Talent's Call-Up to Morocco Squad

Mohamed Wahbi, the coach of the Moroccan national team, has opened the door for the possibility of a new talent emerging in the 'Atlas Lions' squad, following a working session with Abdallah Wazzan, a player from Ajax Amsterdam. This meeting is part of the ongoing monitoring of the player in preparation for a potential call-up during the upcoming international break.

The meeting with Wahbi in Wazan is part of the national coach's efforts to broaden his selection choices, amid growing interest in the 17-year-old player, who has established himself as one of the standout emerging talents at Ajax due to his impressive performances.

Wahbi is keen to monitor Wazaan's progress closely before making a decision on whether to call him up to the senior national team, especially since the player possesses technical and physical abilities that allow him to excel in multiple positions, whether in midfield or in an attacking role.

Wazan particularly stands out in the defensive midfield position, where he possesses the ability to win the ball, build play, and drive it from the back line into attacking areas. The player has demonstrated this role with Ajax's U21 team and has previously occupied the same position with various Moroccan youth national teams.

Wazan's name was linked last season with a potential move to Real Madrid, but the deal did not materialize due to health-related reasons.

The player's options do not stop at the defensive midfield position, as he can also perform as a playmaker behind the strikers, utilizing his passing and chance-creating abilities. He has previously played four matches for Ajax's first team in this role, during which he managed to provide an assist.

Wazaan also offers additional options on the left wing, a position he has played in with Ajax's youth teams and Morocco's national youth squads. With the first team of the Dutch club, the player has participated in four matches in this position, scoring one goal and providing two assists.

At the international level, the player boasts impressive numbers with the Moroccan U17 national team, having played 24 matches in which he contributed to 10 goals, showcasing his continuous development despite his young age.

Abdallah Wazaan's current market value is approximately €1.5 million, according to data from Transfermarkt, with the possibility of increasing as he continues to develop and receives more opportunities with Ajax's first team.

Mohamed Wahbi's movements indicate a clear desire to closely monitor young talents, searching for names capable of bolstering the Moroccan national team in the upcoming phase. Abdallah Wazan is among the most prominent names attracting the national coach's attention.
