Three days before the end of the Ligue 1 championship, and while the TFC has not yet validated its maintenance, the young Ilyas Azizi, 17, was summoned for the first time in the group of the Violet club. A great reward for the native of Toulouse a few days before the U17 Euro.
U19, Gambardella, National 3, and now Ligue 1… Ilyas Azizi continues to cross the levels under the colors of the TFC. And this, always one time ahead. At only 17, the young attacking midfielder was called for the first time by Carles Martinez NOVELL in the Professional Violets group for a first division meeting. After launching, this season in the league, no less than four pitchouns (Jaydee Canvot, Rafik Messali, Noah Edjouma and Edhy Zuliani), the Catalan coach decided to reward a pure product of the TFC training. Nothing very surprising with regard to the potential of the young Toulousain.

Whether with the U19 (Him, the U17) or with the TFC reserve team in National 3, the level he discovered at the start of the season, the Toulouse native is the type of player we notice. And in good. Capable of evolving on the left corridor, but especially in the heart of the game with the number 10 in the back, Ilyas Azizi is called in the young categories of the French team since its age allows and continues to go back and forth between Clairefontaine and the pink city for more than a year. A major element of the 2008 generation, he is also expected to compete in Euro U17 (from May 19 to June 1 in Albania) after having greatly contributed to the qualification of the Blueberries by scoring three goals in three games in the second qualification round.

A nugget that the TFC wants to protect
If its initials evoke a completely fashionable technology, the TFC is also aware of the qualities of the one who took its first steps in football under the colors of FC Fonbeauzard (club of the northern suburbs of Toulouse). According to our information, the Violet club even started negotiations in order to lock its “nugget” and make it sign its first professional contract, while many clubs also want to attract it to their nets. Called to climb with professionals during training in early March, he signed a goal in the midst of the skylight picked up on social networks.

It remains to be seen whether the match scenario against the Rennes as well as the wishes of Carles Martinez November will allow the Toulousain to make his big beginnings in the elite. If this was the case, he would go, at 17 and 20 days old, fourth place in Kévin Keben (17, a month and seven days) in the classification of the youngest players who have evolved for the Violets in the league.
