[Mercato] Wahbi Khazri joins Montpellier Hérault (official)

After Théo Sainte-Luce, Arnaud Nordin and Faitout Maouassa, the MHSC has recorded the signing of Wahbi Khazri (31) for this new Ligue 1 2022/2023 season. Free to join the club of his choice after the end of his contract with AS Saint-Étienne, the Tunisian international will continue his adventure in France for a few more years, despite a few touches abroad. He reinforces the Pailladin offensive sector with a mystery, that of his positioning in Olivier Dall’Oglio’s tactical scheme.

The player trained at SC Bastia, who will wear the surprising number 99, was obviously happy with this new start after the last complicated weeks, he spoke to the official site: “I am very happy to be here. It’s a new challenge. I think I needed it and now I hope to help the club grow, achieve its goals and give my best. I hope to have fun, to provide it to people who love this club and that we will all have a great adventure together. »

Its new President, Laurent Nicollin, also had his own words: “I am very happy with the signing of Wahbi at MHSC. It was a priority for us to strengthen our attack; It’s now done and I’m glad. We had good contact with him. I hope he will continue to score goals as he has done for many years in Ligue 1 and that he will carry the team high. »
