Players to Watch

Houssem Aouar (Algeria)

Houssem Aouar who joined AS Roma as a free agent in the summer of 2023 will be the one to watch. The 25-year-old had made 16 Serie A appearances in the 2023-24 season scoring four goals in total. Aouar will be looking to add to his Algeria national team tally of two goals in five appearances.

Serhou Guirassy (Guinea)
