Transfer: Montpellier Eyeing Former Monaco Star Wissam Ben Yedder

Montpellier is considering signing former Monaco striker Wissam Ben Yedder, who has been training to find a new club despite his judicial supervision.

French striker Wissam Ben Yedder, 34, may be poised to revive his career with Montpellier, a struggling Ligue 1 side, according to reports from L'Equipe. This potential move comes after Ben Yedder's departure from Monaco at the end of the previous season.

Ben Yedder has faced significant personal and legal challenges in recent times. He was handed a two-year suspended prison sentence for sexual assault while intoxicated. Additionally, the striker is currently on trial for psychological violence against his wife, with whom he is undergoing divorce proceedings. Ben Yedder is also subject to strict judicial supervision, requiring him to check in twice weekly, and has been barred from visiting public houses and leaving his residence between 8 pm and 6 am.

According to L'Equipe, Montpellier is keeping a close eye on 34-year-old Wissam Ben Yedder, formerly of Monaco. The striker has restarted his physical training with the goal of finding a new club, and his current judicial supervision is not hindering his efforts.

Montpellier, who have struggled to find the back of the net with just 15 goals in 15 games, are seeking to turn their season around. La Paillade are considering Ben Yedder, one of Ligue 1's top scorers in recent years, as a potential solution to their attacking woes, despite his current pariah status.
