Wahbi Khazri already appeared destined for a transfer this summer; he has no future at Sunderland, surely, and already impressed on loan at Stade Rennais last summer. He boosted his reputation at the World Cup – contributing two goals and two assists – and will have piqued the interest of clubs in the Premier League and Ligue 1. According to the Chronicle, there’s interest from clubs in Portugal, Belgium and France, and don’t expect the versatile forward to be at the Stadium of Light for too much longer.
Ferjani Sassi endured a mixed World Cup; he netted a penalty against England, but allowed his frustrations to bubble over on occasion.
Nonetheless, it appears as though some of Italy’s heavyweights are impressed with his technical qualities and his ability with the ball at his feet. Calciomercato have reported that AC Milan, Juventus and Napoli are all considering a move for the Saudi Arabia-based playmaker.
