SHOCKING CONFESSION: Leicester City’s Star Bilal El Khannouss SPILLS ALL on His MASSIVE MISTAKES That Nearly TORPEDOED the Team – You Won’t Believe What He Got DEAD WRONG!
Moroccan midfielder Bilal El Khannouss shines at Stuttgart with three goals in his opening six matches, equalling his total from last season
Bilal El Khannouss has admitted he was “overthinking things” during his time at Leicester City, after making a brilliant start to life with Stuttgart.
The Moroccan midfielder has quickly impressed in Germany, scoring three goals in just six Bundesliga appearances — matching his tally from 39 games at Leicester.
His latest goal, a composed finish against Heidenheim, sealed a 1-0 win and lifted Stuttgart to fourth place in the table.
Interestingly, all three of El Khannouss’s goals have resembled his strike for Leicester against Tottenham, calmly placed into the corner of the net. However, he believes his style has evolved since leaving England.
“I follow my instincts now,” he told Südwest Presse. “Last season was different — I was overthinking things.”
Despite his strong performances, Stuttgart boss Sebastian Hoeness believes there’s still room for improvement.
“The balance between risk and clarity isn’t always right,” he said. “He loses the ball one or two times too often, but we’ll keep working with him.”
Although currently on loan, El Khannouss’s deal includes an obligation for Stuttgart to buy him permanently, meaning he has likely already played his final match for Leicester City.
