Bilal El Khannouss, born on 10 May 2004 (age 22), is a Moroccan central midfielder with Stuttgart. He wears the number 11 shirt and is valued at around £27m by Transfermarkt, which tells its own story about how quickly his stock has risen.
His most productive league season so far came with Stuttgart in 2025-26, when he scored four goals in 25 appearances. For a midfielder still in the early stretch of his senior career, that was a useful return rather than something to get carried away about.
In 2026-27, El Khannouss has made seven Bundesliga appearances and scored one goal for Stuttgart. His career is still taking shape, but the outline is clear enough: a young Moroccan midfielder operating at a strong level in Germany, with room still to sharpen the details.
