Moroccan midfielder Bilal El Khannous set for huge EPL move next summer

Moroccan midfielder Bilal El Khannous is reportedly attracting significant interest from several Premier League clubs following a string of impressive performances with VfB Stuttgart.

According to Africasoccer sources, Stuttgart are preparing to trigger the mandatory purchase clause in El Khannous’ loan agreement, valued at approximately €20 million, once the contractual conditions are fulfilled.

The midfielder’s consistent displays in Germany have drawn attention from across England, with four clubs reportedly positioning themselves to bring him to the Premier League.

Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Crystal Palace are said to be revisiting their previous interest in the player, while Newcastle United has emerged as a strong contender.

The Magpies see El Khannous as both a technically skilled addition and a valuable long-term investment.

If Stuttgart proceed with the clause and the Premier League interest materialises, next summer could mark a significant step in the career of the promising Moroccan international, returning him to one of Europe’s most competitive leagues.

The midfielder is currently enjoying his time at Stuttgart and hopes to finish the season strongly to earn a place in the Morocco national team for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
