Brighton is one of the English teams that have been observing Bouaddi's performances recently, receiving very positive feedback. Interest from the Premier League in the Lille youngster has reportedly grown significantly. The 17-year-old has played 20 Ligue 1 matches at the core of Lille’s midfield this season and has also featured prominently in the Champions League, starting seven times, including in his team’s last-16 knockout match against Dortmund. In addition to Brighton, other Premier League clubs such as Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Aston Villa have expressed interest in Bouaddi. However, due to his age, Bouaddi will not be able to join a new team until January 2026, as he will only turn 18 in October, giving interested clubs additional time to plan their offers.
