Haykeul Chikhaoui: Club Africain Eye Move for Tunisian-French Al-Nasr Playmaker

Haykeul Chikhaoui, the Tunisian-French attacking midfielder currently at Al-Nasr SC in Kuwait, has been linked with a return to Tunisia with top-flight side Club Africain. The 29-year-old is being monitored by the Ligue 1 outfit as they assess options to strengthen their creative department ahead of the new campaign.

Club Africain are understood to view Chikhaoui’s profile as a good fit for a central attacking role, with his experience abroad seen as an asset in a squad aiming to compete at the top end of the Tunisian Ligue 1. Any potential move would mark a significant change of direction for the player, who has been plying his trade in Kuwait with Al-Nasr.

The Tunis-based club are exploring ways to add proven attacking midfield quality, and Chikhaoui’s dual Tunisian and French nationality is regarded as advantageous in terms of adaptation to both the domestic league and the club environment. His time with Al-Nasr has provided him with further exposure to a different tactical and competitive context, something Club Africain are believed to value as they look to blend local and overseas experience.

While discussions have not yet progressed to an advanced stage, the 29-year-old’s situation at Al-Nasr is being closely followed. Chikhaoui remains under contract with the Kuwaiti side, and any agreement would depend on Al-Nasr’s willingness to negotiate terms before Club Africain can move forward with a formal approach.
