Premier League clubs battling to sign Morocco attacker Abdessamad Ezzalzouli
Moroccan winger Abdessamad Ezzalzouli is emerging as one of the hottest prospects of the 2026 summer transfer window.
After a standout campaign with Real Betis, the 24-year-old has drawn attention from several Premier League clubs eager to secure his signature.
Ezzalzouli’s impressive performances during the 2025/26 season, coupled with a strong showing at the 2025 AFCON, have pushed his market value sharply upward.
Betis, who acquired him in 2023 for around €7.5 million, are reportedly seeking between €35 million and €40 million.
Any transfer would also involve FC Barcelona, who hold a buy-back clause and a 50 percent stake in any future sale.
Tottenham Hotspur appear to be leading the race, with the club preparing a €32 million bid to add pace and attacking dynamism to their squad. Ezzalzouli’s ability to beat defenders and exploit space fits the profile Spurs are targeting.
Everton has also engaged with the player’s representatives following an initial approach in January, while Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and West Ham are keeping a close watch on developments ahead of the summer window.
Ezzalzouli’s statistics underline his growing reputation. In 16 La Liga starts, he has netted five goals and provided four assists, while adding three more goals in the Europa League.
With 15 goal contributions across 26 appearances, he is proving himself as one of Europe’s most effective wingers.
Scouts have highlighted his explosive pace and ball control as standout qualities. Averaging 1.7 successful dribbles per 90 minutes in La Liga, he is capable of creating danger both through direct runs and incisive passes.
Interest is not confined to England. Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly exploring him as an attacking option, with Napoli and AS Roma also keeping tabs.
With multiple clubs circling and Real Betis poised to profit substantially, Abdessamad Ezzalzouli is expected to dominate the headlines of the 2026 summer transfer window.
