Wissam Ben Yedder’s Future: Ligue 1 Clubs and Italian Giants Eyeing Toulouse Striker
Wissam Ben Yedder’s impressive record in Ligue 1 has not gone unnoticed, with the French-Tunisian striker involved in 38 goals (28 goals and 10 assists) since the 2012/13 season. Only two players, Zlatan Ibrahimovic (74) and Dimitri Payet (39), have outperformed him in that period, cementing Ben Yedder’s status as one of the league’s top talents.
This consistent form has drawn the attention of some of Europe’s biggest clubs, with top Italian sides Roma and Fiorentina reportedly keeping tabs on the Toulouse forward. However, Ben Yedder’s future may not lie outside of France, as there are also rumors linking him with a move within Ligue 1. According to Tuttomercato, AS Saint-Étienne and Olympique Marseille are two Ligue 1 clubs eager to bring him in.
Ben Yedder, who has long been a key player for Toulouse, appears to have a preference for AS Saint-Étienne. The prospect of staying in France and continuing his career in Ligue 1 seems increasingly appealing for the striker. Should he make the move, Saint-Étienne would likely be a major contender to secure his services. For now, the future of the prolific goal-scorer remains up in the air, but his next step could have significant ramifications for the Ligue 1 transfer market.
