Hatem Trabelsi (, ; born 25 January 1977 in Aryanah, Tunisia) is a former Tunisian footballer. A right-sided defender or midfielder, he has played for CS Sfaxien, Ajax Amsterdam, Manchester City and Al-Hilal Riyadh. He has represented the Tunisian national team in three World Cups, gaining a total of 66 caps before retiring from international football in 2006. ==Club career== Trabelsi grew up in Sfax, and started his football career with his home town club Sfaxien, where he initially played as a forward. An injury crisis at Sfaxien resulted in Trabelsi playing as a stop-gap right-back, leading to him converting to defence and becoming the team's regular right-back. In 2001 Trabelsi moved to Europe, signing for Dutch club Ajax. During the pre season of 2004, Hatem was given a trial period at Arsenal by Arsène Wenger. Seemingly, he impressed the Gunners and a fee between Ajax and the English champions was agreed. With the transfer looking imminent, even ''Pro Evolution Soccer 4'' included Trabelsi for Arsenal. However, due to personal reasons Trabelsi never fully signed with Arsenal and soon returned home to Ajax. In 2006 Trabelsi was linked with moves to several English clubs, and joined Manchester City on a free transfer on 10 August. Injury and work permit problems prevented him from making his debut until a month into the season, a substitute appearance against Reading on 11 September.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=ESPN Soccernet )〕 He scored his first Manchester City goal against Manchester United with a left foot shot to beat Edwin van der Sar. Manchester City still lost the game 3–1. Trabelsi lost his right-back place in the side to Micah Richards and Nedum Onuoha. Trabelsi did not play a game after City's 1–0 win at Newcastle United in March, and he was released at the end of the season. After six months without a club, he signed for Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal Riyadh in November 2007. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hatem Trabelsi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
