Adam Ounas (Arabic: آدم أوناس; born 11 November 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Italian club Napoli and the Algeria national team.[1][2]
Club career
Early career
Ounas was four years old when he joined the local club Tours FC encouraged by his father, a former goalkeeper, Hadji Ounas.[citation needed] He played for Tours FC for ten years before joining the U14 youth team of Châteauroux.[citation needed]
One year later, due to juvenile mistakes, he left Châteauroux and played for a small local club, Football Club Ouest Tourangeau 37 where Arnaud Vaillant, scout for Girondins de Bordeaux and Yannick Stopyra discovered him.[3]
Girondins de Bordeaux
In April 2013, Ounas joined the Girondins de Bordeaux on a one-year contract and in April 2014, he signed a two-year trainee contract.
Ounas made his first-team debut for Bordeaux on 4 October 2015, being introduced in the 72nd minute and scoring the last goal in his club's 3–2 defeat away to Lorient.[4] He started in the following match against Montpellier HSC before being substituted in the 59th minute[5] and was introduced in the 77th minute of Bordeaux's 0–1 defeat to FC Sion in the Europa League on 22 October.[6] On 25 October, Ounas scored his second Ligue 1 goal 11 minutes after having come on in the 67th minute helping his club to a 1–0 win over Troyes AC.[7] In December, Bordeaux rewarded him with a professional contract running until June 2019.[8]
Napoli
On 3 July 2017, Napoli confirmed the signing of Ounas from his former club Bordeaux.[9][10] He scored his first goal for the club in a 1-3 loss to RB Leipzig in the Europa League 1st knockout round first leg.[11]
International career
Born in France to Algerian parents, Ounas is eligible to represent both countries internationally. After initially playing for the France under-20 team, he opted to change his allegiance to Algeria in October 2016.[12] Shortly after the switch, Ounas was called up to the Algeria national football team for the first time for a 2018 World Cup qualifier against Nigeria.[13]
Ounas made his debut for the senior Algeria national football team in a 1–0 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification loss to Zambia on 5 September 2017.[14]
