Milan talent Hachim Mastour explained why he chose to represent Morocco and not Italy.

The 16-year-old was born in Italy to Moroccan parents and grew up in Reggio Emilia.

Despite the fact he is yet to make his Serie A debut, the prodigy has received his maiden call-up for the senior Morocco squad against Libya.

“I chose this national team because ultimately I feel more Moroccan than I do Italian, despite the fact I was born in that country,” Mastour told the FRMF website.
