Bilal El Khannouss

Bilal El Khannouss of Stuttgart was born on 10 May 2004 (age 22).

Bilal El Khannouss, born on 10 May 2004 (age 22), is a Moroccan central midfielder with Stuttgart, where he wears the number 11 shirt. His current market value is around £27m, according to Transfermarkt.

His most productive league campaign so far came in 2025-2026, when he scored four goals in 25 appearances for Stuttgart. That is a useful marker for a midfielder still early in his senior career: involved enough to matter, without needing the usual inflated claims attached to young players with a bit of polish.

In 2026-2027, El Khannouss has made nine Bundesliga appearances and scored twice for Stuttgart. The shape of his career remains straightforward: a young Morocco international-level talent building his club record in Germany, with enough end product from midfield to keep attention on where he goes next.
