AC Milan step up pursuit of Malian teen sensation Raymond Bomba Hicham Boudaoui is enjoying one of the most impressive campaigns of his career, with recent data confirming the Algerian international as one of the most dynamic midfielders in Ligue 1 this season. The 25-year-old OGC Nice star has carved out a reputation as a relentless engine in midfield, outperforming his peers across several high-intensity metrics, according to analysis conducted by Datascout. When compared against 49 other players in similar roles across the French top flight, Boudaoui has firmly established himself as a standout in terms of physical output and explosiveness. He currently ranks as the fastest midfielder in the league, clocking top speeds that place him above every other player in his position. His sprinting statistics are equally eye-catching—second overall for both the number of sprints executed and the total distance covered at high speed. These figures are testament to the intensity and work ethic that have become hallmarks of his game. Beyond pace, Boudaoui also ranks fourth in Ligue 1 for the number of accelerations per match, an indication of his ability to change gears rapidly in midfield battles. He places sixth when it comes to high-intensity runs, showing consistency in covering ground with power and purpose across 90 minutes. His most recent performance against Nantes further demonstrated the practical impact of these attributes. Boudaoui played a key role in one of the game’s decisive moments, sprinting over 30 metres to deliver a perfectly weighted assist to Ali Abdi. It was a move that encapsulated his balance of endurance, vision, and technical precision—qualities that continue to make him a critical asset for both club and country. While his statistics highlight the physical side of his game, Boudaoui’s influence extends into tactical intelligence and ball distribution. He consistently positions himself as a link between defence and attack, often initiating counter-attacks or offering cover for full-backs pushing forward. This duality in his role makes him an invaluable figure in OGC Nice’s midfield setup. Boudaoui’s development over recent seasons has been steady, but this campaign appears to mark a turning point in his career. Having matured physically and tactically, he is no longer seen merely as a promising talent, but as a player capable of dominating games with his stamina, speed, and sharp decision-making. At 25, Boudaoui is entering the prime years of his professional journey. With performances like these, interest from clubs beyond France could soon follow. For now, however, he remains focused on continuing his fine form with Nice, where his all-action displays are proving vital to the team’s ambitions in Ligue 1. As the season progresses, the numbers suggest Boudaoui is not only one of the most industrious midfielders in France, but also one of the most influential. His blend of athleticism and intelligence marks him out as a rare and valuable figure in modern football.
