Khalil Ayari #14

Profile

Fans believe Ayari is one of the players destined to shape the future of the national team. Last summer, he earned the opportunity to join the European champions, Paris St-Germain, at the age of 21. Tunisians know Ayari is talented, but they are equally aware he now has the perfect environment to evolve, improve, and reach another level. He received an excellent football upbringing at one of Tunisia’s biggest clubs, Stade Tunisien, before a successful trial took him to Paris. Supporters are also pleased because Ayari, with the support of his club, chose a move to Europe despite receiving enormous financial offers from Gulf-based clubs. Expectations surrounding the young winger are now extremely high, despite winning a solitary cap at the time of writing. It is up to him to seize this rare opportunity and prove himself on the biggest stage.
