Mezian Mesloub: Can Walid's Son Escape Algeria?

At just 16 years old, Mezian Mesloub Soares scored a goal just five seconds into his Ligue 1 debut for RC Lens, securing victory against FC Nantes and confirming Lens's qualification for the Champions League. Born in France to an Algerian father and a Portuguese mother, he is eligible to represent France, Algeria, and Portugal, with a current preference for Portugal, where he has already made five appearances for the U17 team. However, the Algerian Football Federation has made contact with his father, who has shown no positive signs towards the Fennecs.
