Feyenoord striker Anis Hadj Moussa is becoming a target for Premier League clubs in the upcoming January transfer window. The 22-year-old Algeria international joined Feyenoord from Belgian second-tier side Patro Eisden for £3 million in his first season in Rotterdam. Leicester and Tottenham are among the clubs interested in Moussa, who caught the eye of Liverpool manager Arne Slot during Feyenoord’s remarkable comeback against Manchester City in the Champions League. The Paris-born left-footed right winger played a key role in Feyenoord’s stunning turnaround, scoring a goal in the 74th minute as they came back from being three goals down to draw against City.
Following his impressive performance against Manchester City, Moussa is now drawing attention from several Premier League clubs looking to bolster their squads in January. Feyenoord’s sporting director Dennis te Kloese even joked with Moussa in the tunnel after the match, pretending to sell him to City. The Dutch club is reportedly willing to sell the talented winger for around £10 million if they receive offers from interested clubs. Liverpool, under Arne Slot’s guidance before his move to Anfield, are one of the clubs monitoring Moussa’s progress, along with Leicester and Tottenham. Moussa’s agents have traveled to the UK to generate interest from potential suitors and secure a deal in the coming weeks.
In the match against Manchester City, Feyenoord found themselves trailing 3-0 by the 53rd minute after goals from Erling Haaland and Ilkay Gundogan. However, Moussa sparked the comeback with a goal in the 74th minute, followed by Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko, who scored to level the game at 3-3. City manager Pep Guardiola was visibly distraught after the match, sporting scratches on his forehead as a result of his frustration over the disappointing result. The draw extended City’s winless streak to seven matches, including their loss to Liverpool on Sunday. Moussa has been in impressive form for Feyenoord this season, scoring four goals in 14 appearances, including two goals in four Champions League outings.
Moussa’s performances for Feyenoord have garnered attention not only from Premier League clubs but also from European scouts and managers. His ability to contribute goals and assists from the wing position has made him a sought-after talent in the transfer market. Despite being relatively young at 22, Moussa has shown maturity and composure in high-pressure situations, as evidenced by his pivotal role in Feyenoord’s comeback against Manchester City. With a strong physical presence and technical skill, Moussa has the potential to thrive in a more competitive league like the Premier League, where his pace and agility could trouble opposing defenses. The coming January transfer window will likely see increased interest in Moussa, with clubs eager to secure his services and add a dynamic attacking threat to their squads.
