Paul 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) Trabelsi set to sign for Man City Hatem Trabelsi is on the verge of completing a move to Manchester City. The right-back, 29, who played for Tunisia at the World Cup, will move in a free deal as his contract with Dutch club Ajax has come to an end. He has been a long-time target of Arsenal and has also been linked with Liverpool and West Ham this summer. City boss Stuart Pearce said on Thursday: "He has a couple of medical tests still remaining but we should have permanent news on him later on." Trabelsi retired from international football after winning the last of his 59 caps at the World Cup - the third in his career. He also helped Tunisia win the African Cup of Nations in 2004. Monaco and Paris St Germain also tracked Trabelsi this summer after he had made it patently clear last season that he would let his contract run out. "I have been at Ajax for five years," he said in December. "There are more opportunities in England and I think it's time for me to meet my destiny."
