Khazri is the lifeblood of the French outfit. To make his stock even more enticing, Khazri has a knack for the free kick as well. He’s like the Swiss army knife of midfielders, only he’s Tunisian. Call him the Tunisian army knife.
Speaking of Tunisia, Khazri has already scored six goals in his first 13 international competitions. At just 24 years of age, Khazri is hitting his prime and he is proving it with his numbers. As such, he is being scouted by Everton, Stoke City and Newcastle, according to reports.
Wherever he ends up, this guy has the tools to succeed. He even has the versatility to play anywhere ahead of the back four. Again, what can’t the Tunisian army knife do?
Next up, Wahbi Khazri’s former club, Bastia.
