According to a recent report by La Colina de Nervion (translated by Manchester Evening News), Manchester United have “agreed everything” with Sevilla striker Wissam Ben Yedder with regards to a potential summer move to Old Trafford. The same source has also mentioned that the French centre-forward will likely to move to England despite interest from Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
Ben Yedder’s Exceptional Season At Sevilla
Ben Yedder could be an ideal replacement for Romelu Lukaku if the Belgian international part ways with the club before the start of the new season. The 28-year-old has earned a wealth of experience during his time in France and Spain. The Sarcelles born talent was also in red hot form for Sevilla in the previous campaign when he put in numerous match-winning displays at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
The La Liga forward registered 30 goals and provided 11 assists in 54 matches for Sevilla in the previous term across all competitions. Ben Yedder has transformed himself into a prolific goal-scorer in the Spanish top-flight, but the jury is still out on whether he would be able to score so freely in a highly competitive league like the Premier League.
The Saint-Denis youth product has also earned four international caps for France and has got one goal to his name thus far. At 28, Ben Yedder is currently playing the best football of his playing career so Man United will do well to prise him away from Spain in this off-season.
What Will The French Talent Bring To The Theatre Of Dreams?
Ben Yedder will add a lot of goals to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s frontline as he is an unforgiving finisher inside the opposition penalty box. The Sevilla frontman boasts blistering pace, which allows him to make well-timed runs behind the opposition backline. He has also improved his link-up play with his teammates over the past couple of seasons.
The acquisition of a proven goal-getter like Ben Yedder will undoubtedly be a much-needed injection of quality to Solskjaer’s squad. He has all the skillset required to be a useful asset for the Red Devils in the coming years.
Is Ben Yedder The Right Choice For The Red Devils?
Solskjaer also wants to deploy an attacking style of play at the Theatre of Dreams which will play into the strengths of Ben Yedder as he thrives when his team is on the front foot. To conclude, the French striker will be an excellent choice to lead the line at Old Trafford if Man United can successfully lure him to England this summer.
