International debut
A 19-year-old midfielder, Belaid was born in Paris but holds a Tunisian passport. He started his career as a trainee at Paris Saint-Germain FC but moved to Inter in 2004. He has already been capped twice by Tunisia, making his international debut against Mali in August 2006 and playing a second game against Libya in November.
Danish switch
Australian goalkeeper Coe is leaving the Dutch champions without having made a first-team appearance. The Brisbane-born 22-year-old arrived at PSV from Inter in June 2004 after a successful trial, but never made it off the substitutes' bench during his time at the club. With his contract due to expire at the end of the season, he has been allowed to go to the Danish Superligaen leaders. PSV take on Arsenal FC in the UEFA Champions League first knockout round in February.
