Hatem Trabelsi, a 25-year-old defender, got his dream move when top Dutch side Ajax came in for him at the start of the 2001/02 season.

The defender began his career as a right-sided forward and can provide a useful ball into the opposing penalty area.

He recently made his debut at the 2002 African Nations Cup.

His attacking prowess may give Tunisia an added dimension at the World Cup finals.
