Safouane Benzahra, an 18-year-old Dutch-born player, made his Ligue 1 debut for AS Monaco last Friday, coming on as a substitute for Aleksandr Golovin in the match against Paris Saint-Germain. This achievement marks a significant milestone in his career, which has seen him develop rapidly since joining AS Monaco. Benzahra previously played in the youth academy of NAC Breda, where he scored 17 goals in his last season with the U-17 team. He made his first minutes in the Ligue 1 against Paris Saint-Germain and has now reached a verbal agreement for a contract until 2029. The KNVB is now closely monitoring his progress.
