RUDI GARCIA TARGETS WISSAM BEN YEDDER TO BOOST ROMA’S TITLE AMBITIONS
AS Roma manager Rudi Garcia is reportedly making a strong push to bring Wissam Ben Yedder to the Italian capital as the club intensifies its bid to dethrone Juventus in the Serie A title race.
According to Mediaset, the French coach is lobbying Roma’s hierarchy to sign the prolific Toulouse striker during the upcoming winter transfer window. Garcia, who has made it clear he fears no rival—not even the reigning champions Juventus—is eager to add more firepower to his squad to maintain the club’s title momentum.
Ben Yedder, who has already netted six goals in Ligue 1 this season, is under contract with Toulouse until 2017, but the club could be tempted to release him for a transfer fee reportedly exceeding €7 million.
Known for his agility, clinical finishing, and movement in the box, Ben Yedder fits the profile Garcia is looking for to complement Roma’s attacking setup. Whether Roma’s board will meet the financial demands remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—Garcia sees Ben Yedder as a key piece in his Scudetto puzzle.
