Yusuf Akhamrich (born 5 September 2005) is an English-Moroccan professional footballer who plays as a right winger or right midfielder for EFL League One club Leyton Orient, on loan from Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.[3]

Club career

Born in London of Moroccan descent, Akhamrich attended Morpeth School in Bethnal Green. After joining the Tottenham Hotspur academy, he scored 25 goals for Tottenham's under-16s in the 2021-2022 season. He then played 43 matches with Spurs U18, scoring nine goals. In January 2025, he signed a new three year contract with the club.[4]

In November 2025, he was an unused substitute with the first team squad in the UEFA Champions League match against Copenhagen.[5] He was also named as a substitute on 8 November 2025 for Spurs' match in the Premier League against Manchester United.[6]

On 22 January 2026, Akhamrich joined EFL League Two club Bristol Rovers on loan for the rest of the season.[7][8] Having already made two substitute appearances, he made his full debut on 31 January, scoring his side's first two goals in a 3–0 relegation six-pointer victory over Newport County, the first of these strikes being nominated for League Two Goal of the Month.[9][10] His impressive form continued, seeing him named as the club's Player of the Month for February.[11]

Having scored six goals in 19 appearances for Bristol Rovers in League Two, he joined EFL League One club Leyton Orient on a season-long loan deal in July 2026.[12] He scored his first goal for Orient on 22 August 2026, in a 2-0 away league win against Wigan Athletic.[13]

International career

In March 2026, Akhamrich received a first call-up to the Morocco U23 squad ahead of two friendlies against Ivory Coast.[14]
