The Frenchman has been in fine form at Belgian side KV Kortrijk.

For a period at the start of the season it looked like Cardiff City were doomed to Championship relegation.
However, the swift decision to replace Paul Trollope with Neil Warnock as manager paid off and now, with the season drawing to a close, Cardiff are sitting safe in 13th position.
That said, Cardiff might have been better off with a potent goalscorer in the team.
Kenneth Zohore is their top-scorer this season and they have been helped by goals coming from all over the pitch.
But perhaps they should have given another chance to Idriss Saadi this season.
The Frenchman joined Cardiff in August 2015 from Clermont, where he had a potent scoring record.

However, he struggled in Wales. He featured just two times, did not score and suffered with injuries throughout the campaign.
With that in mind, Cardiff sent him out on loan in the summer. He joined Belgian side KV Kortrijk and has had a very impressive season.
The 25-year-old has scored 14 goals in 32 games this season for the club, who are owned by Cardiff’s owner Vincent Tan, in what has been a far more progressive campaign.
Saadi’s goals and style of play would undoubtedly have been welcomed by Warnock. The striker still has one year left on his deal in Wales and after his good showing this season perhaps he is worth giving another go in 2017-18.
