Wissam Ben Yedder, 34, is reportedly in advanced talks with Montpellier, as the struggling Ligue 1 side seeks reinforcements.
The former AS Monaco forward has been without a club since his contract expired on June 30, leaving him a free agent.
Despite a two-year suspended prison sentence for sexual assault while intoxicated, Ben Yedder remains eligible to resume professional football. Following his sentencing, the French international took steps to rehabilitate both his physical and mental fitness, joining a specialized center in Nice.
Reports from L’Équipe indicate that Montpellier, currently languishing at the bottom of Ligue 1, is among the clubs considering signing the experienced striker. With La Paillade desperate to strengthen their attack and climb out of the relegation zone, the potential arrival of a seasoned scorer like Ben Yedder could provide a much-needed boost.
Montpellier faces Olympique Lyonnais this Saturday, and fans will be eager to see if Ben Yedder’s move is finalized before the clash.
