Zakaria Aboukhlal (24) had a tough season last year. The Moroccan player had an ACL injury in September, which kept him out for several months. Despite missing most of the last season, he is now back and is a regular starter for Toulouse FC, who have begun the Ligue 1 season well. However, according to Foot Mercato, the winger might be looking to move.
Before his injury, Aboukhlal was one of the most promising attacking talents in Ligue 1. Since his return, his performances have been encouraging and have attracted the attention of Southampton’s recruitment team. According to Foot Mercato, while the newly promoted Premier League side hasn’t made an offer for Aboukhlal yet, one might be on the way. The Saints are expected to start talks soon to sign the Moroccan after their initial inquiry. His contract with Toulouse FC runs until the summer of 2026.
