The season has only just begun, but Ilane Kebbal is already establishing himself as one of the powerhouse figures in European football. The Algerian player for Paris FC, enjoying a remarkable run of form in recent weeks, now ranks among the top ten players on the continent according to the highly respected Sofascore index.

A dazzling rise in Ligue 1

With an impressive rating of 7.71, Kebbal is outpacing many of the established stars across Europe’s top five leagues. At 27, the attacking midfielder for the Fennecs is finally living up to the immense potential glimpsed in recent years. In nine appearances for the Parisian club, he has directly contributed to seven goals, netting four times and providing three assists—a return worthy of Europe’s elite wingers.

This consistency makes him the second-best player in Ligue 1 statistically, as well as the second most effective winger on the continent. It’s a remarkable achievement for a player coming from a modest club background, proving that with talent and perseverance, it’s possible to stand toe-to-toe with the very best.

Head coach Vladimir Petkovic will undoubtedly be delighted, as Kebbal now asserts himself as a potential key piece for the future of the Fennecs.
