He helped Morocco become the first African team in history to reach the semi-finals after wins against Canada, Belgium, Spain and Portugal.

He gives them so much protection, you can see how many tackles he’s made and he’s a huge part of their success up to now. Such form has inevitably attracted interest from the Premier League's top sides, with Liverpool reported to be alongside Tottenham Hotspur in exploring the possibility of a January move.
