Club career
editWhilst at Olympique de Marseille, Yahiaoui was a target for Chelsea F.C. but the club was unsuccessful in its attempts to signing him, as Marseille had persuaded him to stay with the squad.[1] At the beginning of his career, Yahiaoui played for France U17. However, he failed to make an impact at Marseille, in contrast to his teammate Samir Nasri. He left the squad to play one year for the Ligue 2 side FC Istres, before joining FC Sion, from where he was released at the beginning of 2007.
Yahiaoui an unsuccessful week-long trial with Everton F.C. in an attempt to secure a permanent deal as David Moyes was looking to strengthen his squad before the start of the 2007–08 Premier League season.[2][3] He signed a contract for a year and a half with AS Cannes in December 2007 on a free transfer.[4]
