Abdellah Ouazane, Ajax's exceptional 17-year-old talent reminiscent of Lamine Yamal

17-year-old Moroccan winger Ouazane is impressing at Ajax under Míchel, scoring in both Conference League and Eredivisie this week.

Abdellah Ouazane, born 15 January 2009, is emerging as one of world football's top young talents at Ajax. The 17-year-old Moroccan winger has seized opportunities under manager Míchel Sánchez to showcase exceptional ability, recently scoring a goal in the Conference League on Thursday and adding another in the Eredivisie on Sunday.

Outstanding in Ajax's youth ranks and Youth League, Ouazane is now translating that potential to senior football with confidence and flair. His style—audacious, skilled in one-on-one situations, and capable of creating something different in every action—draws comparisons to Lamine Yamal. Beyond technical quality, he is assuming responsibility early, demanding prominence in Ajax's demanding environment without hesitation.

Already capped by Morocco at international level, Ouazane chose to represent the country of his birth despite being eligible for the Netherlands, where he was born.
