Issam Ben Khemis, the new linchpin in Épinal's midfield

SAS Épinal has just secured the signing of Issam Ben Khemis, a seasoned 29-year-old midfielder whose unique journey reflects a wealth of footballing experience.

Following the arrivals of Thomas Bérenguier and Thomas Roche, the Spinaliens are now betting on the technical and thoughtful profile of a player developed at FC Lorient, where he made appearances in Ligue 1. Ben Khemis also spent time with Girondins de Bordeaux before traveling across Europe and North Africa with notable stints in England (Doncaster) and a solid run at Stade Tunisien (61 matches).

Capped once for the Tunisian national team, this elegant left-footer is looking to breathe new life into his career. His vision, passing ability, and versatility in midfield could prove decisive for an Épinal side seeking to stabilize its play and raise its level in the league.

Determined to make his mark in yellow and blue, the Île-de-France native brings not only experience but also an extra dash of creativity to a key area of the pitch. A signing full of character for a club aiming to grow methodically.
