Chris Bedia has made a resounding impact at Young Boys Bern, netting five goals in seven Super League appearances since joining the Swiss club on loan in January.
His impressive form has sparked discussions over a potential permanent move, despite his existing contract with Union Berlin.
A Career of Highs and Lows
The Ivorian forward’s journey in recent seasons has been anything but smooth. Bedia moved to Union Berlin from Servette FC in 2023 for a reported €2 million but struggled to establish himself in the Bundesliga.
Limited to just 139 minutes of playing time, he managed a solitary goal before being sent out on loan to Hull City in the English Championship.
However, his spell in England did little to reignite his career. In 21 appearances for the Tigers, Bedia found the net only three times and failed to cement a regular role in the squad.
Frustrated by his lack of opportunities, he returned to Union Berlin earlier this year with an uncertain future.
A Return to Form in Switzerland
Back in familiar surroundings, the 28-year-old has rediscovered the form that once made him a standout player in the Swiss Super League.
Having excelled for Servette in the 2022-23 season—scoring 10 goals in just 17 matches—Bedia has seamlessly adapted to life at Young Boys, quickly establishing himself as a key attacking figure.
Despite the absence of a purchase option in his loan deal, speculation over a long-term stay in Bern is gaining traction.
With his Union Berlin contract running until 2027, Bedia now faces a crucial decision regarding his next step.
For Young Boys, securing the Ivorian forward on a permanent basis could provide them with a proven goalscorer as they aim for continued domestic and European success.
Meanwhile, Bedia will be eager to maintain his momentum and finally find stability after a turbulent period in his career.
