Mustapha is a strong, intelligent midfielder with fantastic ball control which has been recognised by his home country as they look to qualify for AFCON with his talent on board.

The youngster has scored two goals in his first two games for the U21s side against Blackburn Rovers and Leeds United in the Premier League 2.

He now looks to become a key member for Amidu Karim’s side as they prepare to face Chad and Zambia in Group G of the 2025 AFCON qualifiers.

AFCON is set to take place in Morroco from December 2025 to January 2026 and Mustapha could be the player to lead his country there.
