If Chris Hughton is prepared to have a little look in Ligue 1 in France for his options, then he might just be able to pick himself up a true bargain in the shape of Bastias Tunisia winger Wahbi Khazri. Bastia are currently situated just inside the bottom half of the league, and well clear of the relegation zone; its a position that may encourage them to accept a bid for one of their stars. At just 22 years of age, and already showing a great deal of promise, it appears that Khazri could well have a big future in the game; he has also recently made the breakthrough at international level by playing six games, scoring two goals for his country. Another big advantage for Hughton is the player has a great deal of experience despite his young age by making over 150 league appearances for Bastia. This season the player has contributed four goals and two assists from his 16 league starts. Further stats include 2.8 shots, 1.5 key passes per match as well as an average rating of 6.95.
