After another defeat against Olympique Lyonnais (0-1), Montpellier continues to look for solutions to remedy its lack of offensive efficiency. The Hérault club, in search of an attacker during this winter transfer window, sees the name of Wissam Ben Yedder, free since his departure from Monaco, circulating with insistence.
Wissam Ben Yedder in the viewfinder?
Aged 34, Ben Yedder, former French international, is a prime target for the MHSC, looking for an experienced striker to boost their attacking sector. Free since last June, the former Monegasque presents an ideal profile to straighten out the Montpellier attack. However, this path still seems far from being successful, as coach Jean-Louis Gasset clarified.
Statements by Jean-Louis Gasset
Asked by DAZN on this potential arrival, Gasset underlined the financial challenges which condition the movements of his team: “Ben Yedder? This is the type of player we are looking for, an experienced player, a goalscorer. But for that, we have to sell players. »
The coach also recalled that adjustments in the squad will depend on departures: “I have always said it: we will take where we sell. So we're going to have a terrible January. No arrivals without departures? I don't think so. »
A transfer window under tension
With limited resources and an obligation to sell to buy, Montpellier will have to be strategic to strengthen its team. If the arrival of Ben Yedder makes supporters dream, the MHSC will probably have to downsize before considering such recruits.
Supporter of En Avant de Guingamp, the best of the Breton clubs, I prefer to meet Yannis Salibur, Cristophe Kerbrat or Jeremy Sorbon rather than Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Sergio Ramos.
