After a spectacular arrival to the Algerian team last March, Ryan Ait Nouri has convinced everyone, even stealing the spotlight from a certain Ramy Bensebaini on the left flank. However, his meteoric rise has worried the leaders of his club, Wolverhampton Wanderers.
According to the British press, the Wolves are carefully monitoring the development of their pupil Ryan Ait Nouri with Djamel Belmadi’s group. After displaying great talent and extraordinary efficiency during the two matches of the September training camp against Tanzania and Senegal, Ait Nouri is undoubtedly an essential element for the Algerian squad for the African Cup in January, and he will be out for at least two weeks. Away from his club, Wolves have been forced to look for an understudy for the abandoned Algerian for this period. The club is therefore already studying the profiles of his potential replacements.
The same operation is happening at Stade Rennais in France. In fact, the French club fears the absence of its striker Amin Ghauri during the CAN period. The club is actively looking for a replacement.
The African Cup of Nations is a major tournament, and it is understandable that clubs are concerned about losing key players for a significant period of time. Ait Nouri and Ghauri are both important players for their respective clubs, and their absence will be felt.
However, it is also important to remember that the African Cup of Nations is a great opportunity for African players to showcase their talents and represent their countries. It is a tournament that is followed by millions of people around the world, and it can be a great springboard for players to move to bigger clubs.
It will be interesting to see how Ait Nouri and Ghauri perform at the African Cup of Nations. If they can continue to play at a high level, it is possible that they will attract the attention of top European clubs.
