Opening
CR Belouizdad got the best home-grown player of the African championship for free.
By October 2020, when the Algerian champions officially completed the signing of 20-year-old Houssem Mrezigue, he had exactly zero senior appearances behind him. He grew up in the Wifak Sétif academy without playing a minute for the first team, then spent a year in the MC Alger reserves and again never played for the seniors (FootAlgérien).
