Real Betis winger Abde Ezzalzouli has appointed Footfeel ISM as his new representation, a move signaling his ambition to progress his career with reported interest from Aston Villa and Newcastle United.
The 24-year-old has joined the agency, which also represents players such as Achraf Hakimi and Lautaro Martinez, according to TEAMtalk.
Both Villa and Newcastle are understood to be monitoring Ezzalzouli’s situation, though neither club has yet made a formal approach to Betis. Sources indicate the Premier League clubs’ interest is genuine and ongoing. Ezzalzouli has impressed with Betis and recently enhanced his reputation with performances for Morocco, including appearances at the 2026 World Cup.
His pace, dribbling skills, and direct attacking style have drawn attention from clubs seeking to bolster their options in wide areas. Betis are currently relaxed about the situation, but anticipate receiving official offers before the transfer window closes. The change in agency is seen as a clear indication that Ezzalzouli is open to a move to a more prominent league.
TEAMtalk sources close to the player have revealed he is eager to test himself in the Premier League, believing the league’s intensity and style of play would be well-suited to his attributes. A transfer is considered more likely later in the window, as clubs finalize other deals and focus on specialist attacking additions. While the Premier League is a strong possibility, Ezzalzouli’s quality could attract interest from other European leagues.
Ezzalzouli is currently under contract with Betis until the summer of 2029 and will continue to feature for the Spanish club. However, the appointment of a new agency suggests he is preparing for a potential departure before the window closes. He joined Betis permanently in 2022 after a loan spell from Barcelona, and has become a regular starter for the Seville-based club.
