Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou is in contention for a top award at the World Cup following his exploits at the tournament.
Bounou, who plies his trade for Spanish club FC Sevilla has been in outstanding form for the Atlas Lions, leading the North Africans to the semi-finals of the World Cup.
His penalty shootout saves against Spain ensured Morocco stunned the 2010 world champions.
The goalkeeper has won two Man of the Match awards and kept four clean sheets at the tournament, two games more than his closest contender Dominik Livakovic.
The Sevilla goalkeeper has also conceded just a goal which came from his own player Nayef Aguerd.
Bounou is expected to win the Golden Glove award considering his exploits at the biggest soccer mundial.
His outstanding displays also puts him in contention for the Player of the Tournament award alongside Argentina superstar Lionel Messi.
Bounou will lead his Morocco teammates into the semi-final against France on Wednesday night with a place in the final at stake.
Morocco became the first African country to reach the semi-final of the World Cup after beating favourites, Belgium, Spain and Portugal.
Bounou is attracting interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid following his splendid performances at the World Cup in Qatar.
The shot stopper, who was born in Canada, started his career with Wydad Casablanca before moving to Spain to join Atletico Madrid.
He spent some time on loan at Real Zaragoza before joining Sevilla in 2019.
He has since been Sevilla's first-choice shot-stopper and was named the best goalkeeper in Spain last season.
