Rabat – Monaco’s rising star Eliesse Ben Seghir made a significant contribution to his club’s 7-1 commanding victory against FC Nantes on Saturday evening.
The Moroccan international found the back of the net in the 49th minute during the Ligue 1 matchday 22 fixture, earning an impressive 8.3 rating from statistics provider SofaScore.
AS Monaco currently holds third place in the Ligue 1 standings with 40 points, the result of 12 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses.
The 19-year-old Moroccan international has been in impressive form this season, making 22 appearances in Lingue 1, contributing 6 goals and 3 assists to Monaco’s campaign.
With a market value estimated at €30 million according to transfer specialist website Transfermarkt, Ben Sghir’s performance against Nantes further cements his reputation as one of North Africa’s most promising talents.
Ben Seghir’s journey to professional football began with SC Cogolinois before he moved to Frejus Saint-Raphaël.
He later joined AS Monaco’s youth academy in 2021, making his first-team debut for the club on November 3, 2022, in a UEFA Europa League match against Red Star Belgrade.
Though he represented France at youth levels, Ben Seghir ultimately chose to play for Morocco, making his senior international debut on March 22 last year, in a friendly against Angola.
Most recently, he was part of Morocco’s U23 squad that claimed the bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The talented forward now has eight caps for Morocco’s senior team, with three international goals to his name.
With the season approaching its final stages, Ben Seghir’s form will be crucial for both Monaco’s domestic ambitions and his prospects of representing Morocco in upcoming international fixtures.
