The 22-year-old, who is on loan from Belgian giants Anderlecht, has produced a string of fine displays with Mouscron since joining the club last summer, scoring six league goals and providing five assists.
Several reports linked him with a possible move to the Premier League, with Liverpool mooted as possible suitors.
Trezeguet was instrumental in Egypt’s campaign in the Africa Cup of Nations that saw the Pharaohs reach the final before losing 1-2 to Cameroon in February.
