Ligue 1 clubs lust after sensational Esperance midfielder

The midfielder was part of the Tunisian team at the World Cup and once again caught the attention of some Ligue 1 clubs with a solid performance against France in the final group game of the World Cup.

No fewer than four Ligue 1 clubs are reported to be keen on signing Esperance of Tunisia’s enigmatic midfielder, Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane.

Ben Romdhane, a 23-year-old attacking midfielder who has played for Esperance all his life, has been one of the country’s best players over the past year and was recognised as the third-best Tunisian player of the year at the annual referendum of the Tunis Afrique Press agency.
