Ibrahim Maza, an 18-year-old Algerian prodigy, is establishing himself as one of the most promising talents of Algerian football in Europe. A versatile midfielder playing for Hertha Berlin, Maza has demonstrated remarkable maturity and technique for his age, attracting the attention of many prestigious clubs.
Recently extended by Hertha Berlin until June 2027, Ibrahim Maza could nevertheless leave the club soon. According to information from the media Caught Offside, the young Algerian international is in strong demand from several Premier League teams, including West Ham United, Leicester
City et Brentford.
West Ham, under the leadership of the Spanish coach
Julen Lopetegui seems particularly interested in this young talent. Lopetegui, looking for a versatile midfielder to turn around his team's performance, sees Maza as an ideal solution to strengthen the Hammers.
With 13 appearances in all competitions this season, Maza has already scored 4 goals and provided 2 assists, demonstrating his offensive efficiency. His versatile profile makes him particularly attractive to English clubs looking to diversify their tactical options. However, West Ham's interest is not limited to its technical aspect.
Lopeteguiaware of the pressure exerted by the disappointing results of his team (14th place in the Premier League with only 11 points), is banking on Maza to breathe new life and offer a long-term option.
Hertha Berlin, while being open to the departure of its young player, requests a sum of between 20 and 25 million euros to sell the rights to Mazaalthough its current market value is estimated at 8 million euros. This difference could spark competition between interested clubs, notably Leicester City and Brentford, but also VfB Stuttgart and Wolfsburg, who are also closely monitoring Maza's development.
