He beat Arnold and stopped Messi .. a Moroccan star close to the Premier League
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, and many British sources, West Ham, the seventh in
the English league, is a few steps away from signing Nayef Akrad, from the Moroccan city of Kenitra.
Akard made an exceptional level with France’s Rennes and his country, and led the French club
to fourth place in the league, crowding out the adults, and succeeded with the help of the “Atlas Lions”
team, reaching the 2022 World Cup.
Reports indicate that West Ham is close to signing with Akard, 26, for 35 million euros, to move to his
ranks next season.

‘Amazing’ stats
According to the “Opta” statistics website, Kurd has a characteristic that surpasses all European stars
in the major leagues, which is the characteristic of the number of forward passes.
Akard leads the number of forward passes in the major European leagues, with 1921 passes this season
in the league, surpassing Liverpool defender Trent Alexander Arnold, who came second with 1832 forward passes.
And the forward passes of the players are the ones that go from the player’s foot to his teammate who is ahead
of him on the field, so the statistic does not count the side or back passes, which makes the front passes
the most “daring” and the highest percentage of creating dangerous opportunities.

Akrad Stops Messi and Mbappe
Lakard is remembered for his outstanding performance against the world’s top stars, such as Frenchman
Kilian Mbappe and Argentine Lionel Messi, who succeeded in stopping them completely in the French League
this season.
Rennes defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 in the first leg, where Akard played a basic and represented a
“solid wall” in front of the skill of Mbappe and Messi.
In the return match, Saint-Germain and its stars suffered a lot in front of Akrd’s hardness, and the league
champion scored the only winning goal in the 93rd minute of the match, to snatch a difficult victory.
