Player Info

Zakaria Bakkali is a Belgian winger whose career trajectory has been one of the most fascinating in recent European football, now playing for Ittihad Riadi Tanger in Morocco. Bursting onto the scene as a teenage prodigy at PSV Eindhoven, Bakkali became the youngest ever goalscorer in the Eredivisie and was capped by Belgium at just 17, drawing comparisons to Eden Hazard for his dribbling and flair. However, injuries and inconsistent form saw his career stall after a move to Valencia. Now 30, he is attempting a revival in North African football. At his best, Bakkali is a mesmerizing talent capable of beating multiple defenders and scoring spectacular goals. His story serves as a reminder of his raw, undeniable talent, and he remains a player capable of producing moments of pure individual brilliance on his day.
