Ever since the clubs marvellous success story with the great Eden Hazard from 2007-2012, Lille has emerged as one of Europes top-selling clubs and a talent developer.
This summer was perhaps the greatest example, as Les Dogues recouped over €90m from the sales of Lucas Chevalier, Bafodé Diakité, and Edon Zhegrova.
More generally, in the last decade, no European club has recorded more transfer profit than Lille.
They have made close to €400m in profit in this period, with 49% of that coming from sales to English clubs, including Nicolas Pépé and Leny Yoro.
But today, one name stands out above all at Stade Pierre Mauroy.
That name is the 18-year-old French midfield star: Ayyoub Bouaddi.
Despite only turning 18 at the beginning of October 2025, Bouaddi has already registered 64 senior appearances, in that time establishing himself as one of the world’s top midfield talents.
This Ayyoub Bouaddi player analysis and scout report will examine the youngster’s style of play, athletic and technical attributes, and his role in LOSC Lille’s tactical framework under Bruno Génésio tactics during the 2025/2026 campaign and beyond.

The pizza chart below displays Ayyoub Bouaddis data from the 2024/2025 Ligue 1 season, during which he was 17 years of age.
Generally, Bouaddis statistical profile paints the picture of a combative, forward-thinking midfielder whose game is built on defensive intensity and tidiness in possession rather than any flair.
At just 17, he was already ranking among the most active duelists in his tier, while showing signs of a possession style that prioritises verticality and control over creativity.

Stylistically, Bouaddi is more of a midfield enforcer than a final-third threat, but his passing metrics hint at evolution.
Bouaddi’s reputation as a solid ground duller is already reflected in the data reflected in the data, though his aerial win rate ought to improve given his 6’1” frame.
He thrives in chaos:
