Ibrahim Maza is attracting growing attention in England, as Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal join the list of clubswatching the Bayer Leverkusen player. The midfielder has made a promising start to the campaign, as several Premier League sides now have him on their radars, as per latest transfer news.
Arsenal & Tottenham monitor Ibrahim Maza
As reported by TEAMtalk, Tottenham and Arsenal have monitored Maza in action this season, they now decide if he could become a future addition to their squads. Both clubs are following his progress rather than preparing an immediate offer.
The 20-year-old is already placed among the most talented young midfielders in the Bundesliga. A big part of his appeal is due to the way he finds space between defensive lines. The Algeria international looks for space in both central and wide areas. He can turn quickly with the ball, move forward and link up with team-mates near the box.
Maza also reads the game well. This allows him to make an impact without staying in one fixed position. He can create chances and also move around the pitch. Such traits have made him an interesting option for clubs looking for a midfielder with creativity, energy and movement.
Leverkusen star continues to develop
Maza’s performances have started to produce results as well. This season, he already has an assist and a goal each for Leverkusen, giving scouts another reason to follow his progress. His form has not been limited to club football. He has also become involved with the Algeria national team and recently delivered an impressive performance in their AFCON qualifying campaign. The midfielder played a major part in Algeria’s recent game**.** He found the net and also set up a teammate in their win against Zambia, adding another strong performance to his growing collection.
Born in Berlin, Maza plays for Algeria at international level. He is still only 20 and has plenty of time to develop. His recent performances show that he is becoming more comfortable at senior level. They have also shown that he can affect games in different ways. Maza carries the ball up the pitch, finds space and creates chances. He can also help his team move up the pitch. For clubs who look for a midfielder who is young and still growing, these qualities are an attractive option.

Competition growing for Maza
The North London rivals are not the only English clubs interested in the midfielder. Manchester City, Aston Villa and Chelsea have also been monitoring him. That growing competition could make Maza a player to watch during future transfer windows. His age gives him plenty of time to develop, while his technical ability offers clubs an option in an area where creativity can be difficult to find.
For now, there are no suggestions that Leverkusen are ready to part with him. Maza remains focused on establishing himself in Germany and continuing his development with both club and country. Arsenal and Tottenham will therefore have to keep assessing his progress. If his performances continue to improve, the number of clubs tracking the young midfielder could increase further. Any future approach would also depend on Leverkusen’s plans and whether the player becomes available.
