Sofiane Feghouli (Arabic: سفيان فيغولي; born 26 December 1989) is a professional footballer who plays for Premier League club West Ham United and the Algeria national team. He operates mainly as a winger, but can also play as an attacking midfielder.
Feghouli made his senior international debut for Algeria in February 2012. He represented Algeria at the 2013 and 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, and the 2014 FIFA World Cup, where he scored Algeria's first goal in the competition.
Feghouli began his career with Grenoble, after French team Paris Saint-Germain declined to sign him after a trial. For the latter portion of the 2006–2007 season, he was promoted to the first-team squad and given the number 33 shirt. He made his highly anticipated debut, at the age of 17, for the club on 27 April 2007 in a Ligue 2 match against Reims, appearing as a substitute. Grenoble won the match 1–0. He made two more appearances that season, including his first start on the final match day of the season against Montpellier on 25 May 2007. Montpellier won the match 1–0 with Feghouli playing 56 minutes before being subbed out. On 31 May 2007, he signed his first professional contract with Grenoble, keeping him with the side until 2010.
