Powerful central defender who has spent the current season on loan with Italian side Lecce in a bid to boost his chances of starting in the World Cup finals. The 26-year-old followed international team-mate Hatem Trabelsi to Dutch football with Feyenood in 2004 but after slipping down the pecking order he decided to move out on loan at the start of the season. A tall and commanding central defender, Saidi is a constant threat at attacking set pieces and has earned his fair share of goals for both club and country. However, it remains to be seen whether or not he has done enough to convince Roger Lemerre of his starting credentials.
