Latest under our scout's gaze is Grasshopper youngster Nassim Ben Khalifa - recommended by Sky Sports reader James Leogue.

The scout reports...

Nassim Ben Khalifa was the star of Switzerland's World Youth Cup success in 2009 and he is being tipped for the very top.

We now run the rule over the 18-year-old, who has earned rave reviews in recent months.

Khalifa is big for his age at 6ft, but he is an elegant figure who oozes class.

Born in the Swiss town of Prangins to Tunisian parents, Khalifa forged his early career with numerous youth sides at Nyon, Gland and Lausanne.

He was spotted by Grasshopper scouts in early 2008 and they quickly took him to Zurich.

Within eights months has was making his first-team debut with Grasshoppers. During this time he was also starring for the Swiss Under-17 outfit.

Having shunned attempts from Tunisia to play for them, he participated at the European Championship in 2008 and 2009, before competing at the World Championships in Nigeria late last year.

And Khalifa did his country proud, leading the Swiss in fine style to the title. He was named Silver Ball winner in the process, which goes to the second best player in the tournament.

By now Khalifa was attracting huge interest with the likes of Barcelona and Arsenal said to be sniffing around, but it was German champions Wolfsburg who won the race in February and handed him a four-year deal.

Khalifa will now move to Germany in July, but he will hope he has other things to do before then as he is being tipped to make Switzerland's World Cup squad.

And does he have a chance? Well seemingly the odds are against him, but Ottmar Hitzeld could be tempted to take a chance.

Khalifa is a composed, quick forward - who can also play out-wide if required but as he matures he is likely to take on a more definite role as a central striker.

The scout says...

If Khalifa can adapt well to life in Germany, then it could be the ideal place for him to learn his trade further.

No doubt the scouts who have been following his career so close to date, will continue to monitor his progress.
