Ihattaren turns down Morocco selection while waiting for Netherlands option

PSV midfielder Mohammed Ihattaren is yet to make a decision regarding his international future after he was handed his debut call-up by Morocco.

Ihattaren was born in the Netherlands to Moroccan parents and has played across the youth levels of the European country.

He helped the Oranje to win the 2018 Uefa European Under-17 Championship and broke into PSV's first-team in the second half of the 2018-19 season.

Ahead of the friendly games against Burkina Faso and Niger in September, new Morocco coach Vahid Halilhodzic has invited Ihattaren to his 46-man team but the teenage star is in no rush to pledge his international allegiance.
