Moha will play a crucial role for Spain in the upcoming U-17 World Cup

Like Achraf Hakimi who recently made his debut for Real Madrid, Moha is of Moroccan descent but was born in Madrid. He has been plugging away successfully in the youth academy at the club for several years now, and is known for the balance he offers to the team.

Moha is viewed as a key tactical piece for Spain, and his performances at the U-17 European Championships in May emphasised his maturity despite still being very young, and coach Santi Denia rates the player extremely highly in this regard.

He’ll be the important midfield axis in India, and will be required to hold everything together for Spain U-17.

Moha’s a strong presence in defensive aspects, and looks to shut out opponent attacks with smart positioning, holding the ability to shut out danger before it reaches his defenders.

His passing is short, sharp and there is always a view to releasing the more attacking minded players from his defensive position.
