Hachim Mastour (Arabic: هاشم مستور Hāshim Mastūr; born 15 June 1998) is a Moroccan professional footballer who plays for Dutch club Zwolle, on loan from Italian club Milan. Internationally, he represents the Morocco national team. He plays primarily as an attacking midfielder.
He began his career at Reggiana, and signed for Milan for €500,000 at the age of 14. In 2015, he was loaned for two years to Málaga, making only one substitute appearance before the deal was terminated a year early. He was then lent to Zwolle.
Mastour was born in Italy and represented the nation at under-16 level. He then switched allegiance to his ancestral Morocco, making his senior debut in June 2015 as their youngest player.
Mastour was born to Moroccan parents in Reggio Emilia, Italy. He began playing at his hometown club AC Reggiana, and in early 2012, at the age of 13, he featured for Inter Milan in youth tournaments despite rules prohibiting him from leaving Reggiana until his next birthday. In January of that year, he scored five goals in the Ielasi Memorial tournament, including one in the final against A.S. Roma. After approaches from Juventus, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester City, Mastour moved to Inter's city rivals A.C. Milan on the recommendation of former manager Arrigo Sacchi, for a fee of €500,000. Shortly after signing, he gave an interview with Sky Italia in which he dribbled with a cherry. In early 2014, he gained attention in a video for energy drink Red Bull, in which he competed in freestyle skills against Brazil international Neymar.
