Otman Bakkal (born 27 February 1985) is a Dutch retired international footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.
He began his career at PSV, and was loaned to Den Bosch, Eindhoven, Twente and Feyenoord. After making a permanent move to Dynamo Moscow in the summer of 2012, he returned to Feyenoord one year later.
Otman Bakkal made his senior debut for PSV during the 2003–04 season in a 3-0 win over Auxerre. Three days later on 28 March 2004, Bakkal made his league debut and the first senior start of his career in a 3-1 loss against Willem II. He signed a new three-year deal with PSV in May of that year.
Over the next three seasons, Bakkal would not get any playing time at PSV. Instead, he was loaned out to FC Den Bosch, FC Eindhoven and FC Twente.
Following the 2006-07 season, Bakkal re-joined PSV and saw regular first-team action. In November 2010, Bakkal was bitten in the shoulder by Luis Suárez during a 0-0 draw against Ajax. That incident caused Suárez to be suspended for seven games.
During the 2010-11 season, Bakkal was loaned to Feyenoord, having lost any expectation of regular playing time with PSV. Bakkal displayed impressive form and drew the interest of Premier League side Swansea City. Instead, Bakkal joined Russian club Dynamo Moscow for the 2012–13 season.
