Wissam Ben Yedder flies to Iran, where the Sepahan SC has decided to relaunch it despite its legal problems.
Wissam Ben Yedder will not return to Ligue 1. in any case not immediately, and maybe even. Defeated since the end of his contract at AS Monaco and his sentence to two years in prison suspended for sexual assault, the French international was announced on the side of Montpellier and some other elite training. It is a more exotic destination that the former Toulouse and Seville FC player will take.
Ben Yedder will engage with the Sepahan SC, in Iran, until the end of the season, with the possibility of extending the adventure beyond. According to information from RMC Sport, the 33-year-old arrived in the Middle East this Saturday before validating this surprising turn in his career. The native of Sarcelles is always one of the best French goals in activity, with 259 goals among professionals, straddling the TFC, Seville and AS Monaco.
A criminal record that does not help
Between 2018 and 2022, Wissam Ben Yedder was called 19 times in the French team, with 3 goals on the clock. Only a few months ago, the Ile -de -France was arrested and placed in police custody in another file for “Sexual assault while being intoxicated, refusal to comply and conducted under the empire of an alcoholic state”. Despite an obvious talent, Ben Yedder’s criminal record most likely dissuaded training in the best European championships to bet on him.
The Sepahan SC is based in the city of Isfahan and is coached by an old acquaintance of the French championship, Patrice Carteron. Last season, the Yellow Lions had finished third in Persian Gulf League. Wissam Ben Yedder had scored 16 goals in Ligue 1 with AS Monaco.
