Neil El Aynaoui has emerged as one of the breakout stars of the World Cup, and TEAMtalk can exclusively reveal that a host of Premier League clubs are now closely monitoring the Morocco international following a series of outstanding performances.

However, TEAMtalk understands it is El Aynaoui who has arguably done the most to elevate his reputation over the past few weeks.
The Roma midfielder has been a driving force in Morocco’s midfield alongside Bouaddi, producing a string of commanding displays against some of the world’s strongest nations.
