Algerian forward Amine Gouiri named in Team of the Week

Amine Gouiri has made an immediate impact at Olympique de Marseille following his winter transfer from Rennes for nearly €20 million.

The 25-year-old forward has wasted no time settling in, scoring twice and providing three assists in just three matches.

His performances have quickly established him as a key player for Marseille, showcasing his technical quality and growing influence on the pitch.

The French international, who has 12 caps and five goals for his country, delivered a standout display against AS Saint-Étienne, netting a brace that secured him a place in L’Équipe‘s Team of the Week.

Gouiri received an 8/10 rating, joining three of his Marseille teammates—Murillo, Balerdi, and Højbjerg—in the prestigious selection.

His resurgence at Marseille marks a stark contrast to his struggles before joining, where he had an underwhelming average rating of 4.47.

Under the guidance of Roberto De Zerbi, who envisions him as a true number nine, Gouiri has already been handed two starts in his first three appearances.

Having been brought in to replace Elye Wahi, he looks set to continue his strong start and establish himself as a pivotal figure in Marseille’s attack.
