Feyenoord Rotterdam are reportedly considering Hicham Farah as a potential successor to Algerian international Anis Hadj Moussa, whose departure at the end of the season appears increasingly likely.
Hadj Moussa, 24, has enjoyed a standout season in the Eredivisie, attracting attention from several European clubs.
His strong performances have boosted his market value, presenting Feyenoord with the opportunity to sell the midfielder for a substantial fee.
As speculation mounts over his future, Dutch media are beginning to explore possible replacements.
According to FootballTransfers, Hicham Farah, a 20-year-old Franco-Algerian currently on loan at Cambuur from LOSC Lille, has emerged as a credible candidate.
The young midfielder has impressed this season in the Eerste Divisie, contributing significantly to Cambuur’s positive results.
Farah’s style of play, which closely mirrors Hadj Moussa’s, would allow him to slot into a similar role in Feyenoord’s midfield.
Several Eredivisie clubs, including FC Twente and FC Utrecht, are reportedly monitoring Farah’s progress, highlighting his growing reputation in Dutch football.
Despite the interest, there is no confirmed agreement between Feyenoord and Lille regarding a potential transfer.
Farah is expected to return to his parent club at the end of his loan spell before any deal can be negotiated.
The prospect of signing Farah represents an appealing and financially accessible option for Feyenoord.
The club could secure a promising young talent capable of stepping into a key role while maintaining squad depth and continuity following Hadj Moussa’s likely exit.
For Farah, a move to the Dutch top flight would mark a significant step in his development and expose him to a higher level of competition.
As the season progresses, Feyenoord will continue to assess their options, balancing the opportunity to cash in on Hadj Moussa with the need to reinforce their midfield effectively.
Farah’s emergence as a potential replacement underscores the increasing influence of young Algerian talent in European football.
