Club career

Born in Paris, Anis Hadj Moussa first played for US Torcy and FC Montfermeil, before joining the RC Lens academy in 2018.[1][2]

He first played with Lens' reserve in National 2,[3] before signing his first senior contract in Belgium with Olympic Charleroi in the summer of 2022.[4][5] There he soon became a standout in the Nationale 1.[3][6]

In June 2023, Hadj Moussa switched to Patro Eisden Maasmechelen, which had just achieved promotion to Challenger Pro League the previous season.[3][6][7]

In February 2024, he was loaned to Vitesse Arnhem in the Eredivisie, with a buyout clause.[3][8] Despite joining a struggling side,[3] he soon managed to stand out with the Arnhem club.[9][10]

In April 2024, Dutch club Feyenoord announced that Moussa would join them for the 2024–25 season on a five-year contract.[11] With the move, Moussa earned his previous club Patro Eisden a record transfer fee.[12] On 6 November 2024, he scored his first UEFA Champions League goal in a 1-3 home loss against Red Bull Salzburg.[13]

Hadj Moussa finished the 2025–26 season with impressive numbers for Feyenoord, scoring 14 goals and making 7 assists in all competitions. Because of his form, European clubs started tracking him closely, with Borussia Dortmund and several Premier League teams showing interest in June 2026. Coach Noureddine Ould Ali mentioned that the winger is fully ready to test himself in a top-five European championship instead of staying in Rotterdam.[14]

International career

Anis Hadj Moussa is a youth international for Algeria, having played with the under-20[1][3] and under-23.[5][10]

Hadj Moussa made his debut for the senior Algeria national team on 22 March 2024 in a friendly against Bolivia.[15] He scored his first goal for Algeria on 3 June 2026 during the 1–0 friendly victory against the Netherlands.
