Riyad Mahrez has hung up his boots for the national team, and Algeria is looking for his successor on the right wing. New coach Brahim Hemdani faces a real headache: three players in great form for the same position.
Mohamed Amine Belloumi is impressing with SC Farense in Portugal. He is consistent, decisive and pushing hard. Alongside him, Yacine Kebbal is confirming at Paris FC, where he puts in good performances. Anis Hadj Moussa, meanwhile, shines in Portugal and racks up impressive statistics.
Hemdani said he wants to build an attacking team. But he will have to choose, unless he moves one of the three out of position. A good problem to have, certainly, but a decision to be made quickly before the 2027 CAN qualifiers.
Algerian fans, for their part, are rubbing their hands. The next generation is here. Now it remains to manage it intelligently.
