On the shores of the French tourist island of Corsica, a young Wahbi Khazri would run, build sandcastles and dream big. The Montpellier star’s leadership, excellence and ambition were perhaps inspired by the island’s most famous son, Napoleon Bonaparte.
But Khazri’s triumphs and conquests would come on the football pitch. From the age of four, he showed his athletic skills, a gifted child playing with his older brothers.
His talent, dribbling and formidable shots were, as a youth, honed on the turf of Ajaccio, where he spent eight formative years.
He quickly developed into a skilled and fast midfielder, with great endurance and an ability to make and find space in attack.
