Arab players to watch out for in Russia

Saif-Eddine Khaoui - Tunisia

Khaoui was impressive against Portugal

The French-born Tunisian playmaker had an impressive season on loan from Marseille at struggling Ligue 1 outfit, Troyes.

Despite Troyes succumbing to relegation, the young midfielder showed glimpses of quality that could prove to be the creative spark which the Eagles of Carthage need in the absence of their star man Youssef Msakni.

An impressive first-half performance in Tunisia’s recent friendly against Portugal set the tone for what we can expect to see from the 23-year-old.
