Nacer Chadli (Arabic: ناصر الشاذلي; born 2 August 1989) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays for Premier League club West Bromwich Albion and the Belgium national team as a winger.
He began his career in the Dutch Eerste Divisie with AGOVV Apeldoorn, and in 2010 transferred to top-flight FC Twente, where he won the KNVB Cup in his first season. In 2013, Chadli joined Tottenham.
Chadli played internationally for Morocco in 2010, but switched allegiance to Belgium the following year, since earning over 25 caps and playing at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Chadli played his youth football at JS Thier-à-Liège, Standard Liège and MVV Maastricht. In the summer of 2007, he was contracted by Dutch second division club AGOVV Apeldoorn, who scouted him at MVV's youth academy. Here he was considered an emerging talent. When Chadli was tested by AGOVV, he went under the alias "Kaliffe," because technical manager Ted van Leeuwen was afraid other clubs would show their interest. Chadli scored his first goal in professional football for AGOVV, in a match against FC Volendam.
In the summer of 2010, Chadli signed with FC Twente, and in the ensuing season became a first team player for the then reigning Eredivisie champions. His first Eredivisie goal was the winning one away at title rivals PSV. He made his European and Champions League debut in a 2–2 home draw against Internazionale on 14 September in the competition's group stage. On 29 September, he scored his first Champions League goal away at Tottenham Hotspur (4–1), and on 2 November scored his second at Werder Bremen in a 0–2 away victory. He later scored again in the Champions League against Tottenham from a free-kick on 7 December, the goal securing a draw for Twente at home, 3–3.
