Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, rivals from North London, have shown interest in signing Ibrahim Maza from Bayer Leverkusen.
The 20-year-old attacking midfielder for the Algeria national team is rapidly emerging as one of the Bundesliga’s most exciting offensive midfield talents. His performances for Leverkusen have attracted growing attention from several English Premier League clubs, according to TEAMtalk.
Previously, sources reported that Chelsea, Manchester City, and Aston Villa have been closely monitoring Maza’s development, and this interest remains strong.
Maza’s appeal lies in his versatility and technical skill while playing as an attacking midfielder. He excels at finding pockets of space in the half-spaces, where he can receive the ball, turn, and take on defenders with confident dribbling.
His football intelligence is also noteworthy: his ability to assess situations and read the game enables him to identify open areas and link up the team’s play in dangerous zones.
These attributes have already been evident in Bayer Leverkusen’s strong start to the season, with Maza contributing both a goal and an assist.
On Friday evening, the Berlin-born midfielder delivered one of his most impressive performances, playing a pivotal role in Algeria‘s 3-1 victory over Zambia in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, scoring a goal and providing an assist.
