Feyenoord talent Khan (18) gets Canada call for CONCACAF Nations League play-offs

Feyenoord's 18-year-old midfielder Khan has been called up by Canada for CONCACAF Nations League play-offs against Guatemala, his first senior international call.

Feyenoord youth midfielder Kevin Khan has received his first senior call-up to the Canadian national team for the upcoming CONCACAF Nations League play-off against Guatemala. The 18-year-old, who has yet to debut for Feyenoord's first team, will join the squad during the international break.

Canada manager Jesse Marsch praised Khan's potential, describing him as a technically gifted, athletically strong and intelligent player who understands midfield positioning whether playing as a number 6 or number 8. Marsch compared Khan's development trajectory to Nathan Saliba, another young midfielder he brought into the Canada setup two years ago. Saliba has since developed into a regular international and moved to Villarreal for €15 million from Anderlecht. Marsch said Khan deserves the opportunity to show how quickly he can adapt and whether he is ready for bigger challenges.
