Nabil El Zhar (born August 27, 1986 in Alès, France) is a Morrocan professional football player currently playing for Liverpool FC. He plays as a striker or "in-the-hole".
Although born in France, El Zhar opted to play internationally for the country of his parents, Morocco. However he has represented France at youth level. In the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship El Zhar was one of the stars of the tournament [1], and helped guide Morocco to the semi-finals, where they were defeated 3-0 by Nigeria. Moroco ended the tournament in fourth place after a 2-1 loss to Brazil.
Nabil El Zhar is currently involved in the Liverpool set up, having been unhappy with the new contract offer from Saint-Étienne. He made his debut for Liverpool reserves against Sunderland on 28 September 2006. Following that match, he signed a contract with Liverpool and made his official debut against Newcastle in a reserves match on 3 October 2006.
