Giroud: Bouaddi’s finishing holds key to Real Madrid dream
Lille’s Olivier Giroud puts the finishing spotlight on Ayyoub Bouaddi—vision and passing are already elite, but Madrid won’t bite without the killer touch.
Olivier Giroud has publicly predicted that Lille teammate Ayyoub Bouaddi can join Real Madrid next season—provided he fixes his finishing. Giroud, the veteran striker and 2018 World Cup winner, made the claim after Bouaddi’s standout displays in Ligue 1 this season. The 21-year-old Moroccan midfielder has drawn plaudits for his vision, passing range, and ability to dictate play from deep positions.
