Launched like a rocket (and not just on the field): 18-year-old Bilal El Khannouss from Genken has 1.3 million followers after the World Cup

Football players are hot on social media and Bilal El Khannouss (18) has also noticed this in recent weeks. At the beginning of November, the RC Genk midfielder who was allowed to go to the World Cup with Morocco still had 8,000 followers on Instagram. At the start of the World Cup there were 40,000, now 1.3 million. And he can earn a lot of money from that. “Then we are talking about heavy contracts, with very high amounts.”
