Achraf Hakimi ends season as PSG's top performer
With 55 appearances, 11 goals, and 16 assists, Hakimi played a key role in Luis Enrique's squad. He scored in every knockout round of the Champions League—including the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final against Inter Milan (5–0)—standing out in the most decisive moments.
His consistency has been widely praised. He earned an overall average rating of 6.55 out of 10, ahead of Joao Neves (6.45) and Vitinha (6.26). In Ligue 1, he posted an average of 6.25, just behind Ousmane Dembélé (6.31), who was named the league's best player.

Moroccan Duo and Nigerian Quartet Dominate WAFCON Best XI
The CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) Team of the Tournament has been released, featuring standout performances across the continent – led by Moroccan and Nigerian stars. Morocco placed two players in the Best XI. Ghizlane Chebbak earned her spot after scoring five goals and claiming the Golden Boot, with a hat-trick against DR Congo during the group stage. Ibtissam Jraidi was also selected as a forward for her relentless movement and threat up front throughout the competition. The stars who shined the brightest. ⭐ Meet your Best XI of the Tournament!#TotalEnergiesWAFCON2024 — CAF Women's Football (@CAFwomen) July 28, 2025 Nigeria, champions after a 3–2 comeback in the final, had four players included. Chiamaka Nnadozie was the tournament's Best Goalkeeper and anchors the XI. Rasheedat Ajibade, named Player of the Tournament, features alongside Esther Okoronkwo, who scored the winner in the final. Michelle Alozie, a dynamic defender, completes the Nigerian representation. Other players honoured include South Africa's Karabo Dhlamini, Bambanani Mbane, and Refiloe Jane, who excelled in defence and midfield for the fourth-placed side. Ghana's Grace Asantewaa and Portia Boakye also made the XI following their third-place finish via penalty shootout over South Africa. The final in Rabat was memorable. Morocco led 2–0 at half-time through Chebbak and Sanaa Mssoudy, but Nigeria responded in the second half. A penalty in the 64th minute, followed by an equaliser in the 77th, set the stage for Jennifer Echegini's 88th-minute winner. Morocco coach Jorge Vilda criticised a VAR decision that overturned a late penalty, telling ESPN: 'We can't understand the decision… She gave a penalty, but then the images we saw were not the same as those presented to the referee.' Nigeria coach Justine Madugu, later named Best Coach, credited halftime adjustments for the comeback: 'If they didn't have mental resilience, they would have given up… We did a lot of talking at halftime.' This is Nigeria's 10th WAFCON title as both nations reinforce their dominance in women's football in Africa. Tags: GhanaMorocconigeriaSouth AfricaWOmen's Africa Cup of Nations

Wydad Target Veteran Striker Khalid Boutaïb
Wydad Athletic Club are in talks to sign veteran Moroccan striker Khalid Boutaïb as part of their summer rebuild. The 38-year-old is a free agent and could join the Casablanca-based side on a short-term deal, marking his first stint in Botola Pro. Sources say Wydad president Hicham Ait Menna is leading efforts to secure the move, with current Wydad player Nordin Amrabat – a former national teammate – playing a key role in convincing Boutaïb to join. Despite his age, Boutaïb is said to be keen on returning to competitive football, aiming to regain his scoring touch and end his career on a strong note. His most recent spell was with Pau FC in France. Over the years, he's played for clubs in France (Ajaccio, Strasbourg), Turkey (Yeni Malatyaspor), and Egypt (Zamalek). He featured for Morocco at the 2018 World Cup and netted eight goals in 20 international appearances. Boutaïb's market value stands at €150,000 (1.6 million MAD), according to Transfermarkt. Wydad have already signed midfielder Abdelghafour Lamirate on a three-year deal following his contract expiry at Olympique de Safi. Lamirate had attracted interest from rivals Raja and RS Berkane but opted for Wydad, who moved quickly to finalise terms. The club is undergoing a significant squad overhaul following a disappointing campaign that saw them finish third in the league and exit the FIFA Club World Cup without a win. Twenty-one players are expected to leave as Wydad look to rebuild for the 2025–26 season, with experience and leadership seen as vital components for the revamped side.

Mourinho Pushes Amrabat to Juventus in Swap Deal
Fenerbahçe manager José Mourinho wants to include Sofyan Amrabat in a potential swap deal to bring Douglas Luiz to Istanbul from Juventus. The Portuguese coach sees Amrabat as a key bargaining chip to secure Luiz, who has fallen out with Juve management. The Brazilian midfielder was excluded from pre-season training after refusing to join the squad, triggering a $120,000 fine and casting doubt over his future in Turin. Juventus are keen to offload Luiz but will not accept less than $40 million, having signed him from Aston Villa only a year ago for $50 million. Mourinho, however, is intent on offering Amrabat in return. The Moroccan international completed a permanent move to Fenerbahçe this summer after a mixed loan spell at Manchester United and a four-year stint in Serie A. At 28, he remains on Juventus' radar as a more tactical fit for Igor Tudor's plans and a cost-effective alternative to top target Morten Hjulmand. Sources in Turkey suggest Fenerbahçe are open to selling Amrabat this summer. Italian outlet Tuttosport claims Juventus see the proposal as a potential 'two birds, one stone' solution – moving on Luiz while bringing in a more adaptable midfielder. 'Mourinho wants Douglas Luiz, but he's also prepared to offer Amrabat, who Juventus have tracked before,' reports La Gazzetta dello Sport . Amrabat's prior Serie A experience with Fiorentina and Hellas Verona makes him a credible option for Juve, especially with Tudor seeking a more physical and defensive midfield setup. Talks between Fenerbahçe sporting director Damien Comolli and Juventus are expected to advance in the coming days. A third player, Filip Kostić, may also be involved, with Fenerbahçe reportedly interested in retaining him after last season's loan. Tags: FenerbahceJose MourinhoJuventusMourinhoSofyan Amrabat
