Adam Aznou on Everton's Radar
According to The Athletic, the Toffees are showing serious interest in Aznou due to the lack of options at left-back, with Vitalii Mykolenko currently the only senior player available in that position. Aznou, 19, had played in Barcelona's academy (La Masia) alongside youth stars including Lamine Yamal, before moving to Germany in 2022 and joining Bayern Munich academy at the age of 16.
The left-back switched his international allegiance to the Moroccan national team in 2024 after previously representing Spain at U16 and U17 levels.
He made his professional debut for Bayern Munich in 2024 in a Bundesliga match against Union Berlin, before leaving on a six-month loan spell to Real Valladolid, where he made 13 appearances last season
A potential move to the Premier League could grant the young star more playing time in a competitive league in the hopes he will get a call-up for the national team during the Africa Cup of Nations hosted on home soil in December. Tags: adam aznouBayern MunichEverton

FIFA Opens New Africa Office in Rabat
FIFA has inaugurated a new regional office in Rabat to support the development of football in Africa. The new branch, located next to the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Salé, will coordinate FIFA's activities in North and West Africa. FIFA President Gianni Infantino, CAF President Patrice Motsepe, and the head of the Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), Fouzi Lekjaa, attended the opening ceremony today. Fouzi Lekjaa described the project as part of a long-term strategy launched by King Mohammed VI more than 20 years ago. 'This office is part of a long-term plan to turn Morocco into a hub for football excellence,' he said. He added that 'Morocco will remain a home for African football, open to all players, coaches, and experts from across the continent.' The launch follows an agreement signed in December 2024 between FIFA, the Moroccan government, and the Moroccan Football Federation to establish the regional office as part of a wider strategy to build infrastructure and provide technical and educational support to African nations. FIFA President also announced that Morocco will host the inaugural edition of the FIFA U-17 Women's Club World Cup in 2025. 'It will be a historic tournament, and Morocco is the ideal place to organise it,' he said. CAF President Patrice Motsepe said: 'What has been achieved here is extraordinary. Morocco sets the benchmark for infrastructure, planning, and vision in African football.' The new office is expected to play a key role in Morocco's preparations for the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which it will co-host with Spain and Portugal.
