Ben Yedder, the benchmark for the 21st century
Building on his superb season, Wissam Ben Yedder becomes the category leader in Ligue 1 Uber Eats in the 21st century. In nine exercises in the elite, the French international has converted 27 penalties, one more than another specialist, Olivier Monterrubio. PSG’s official shooter for four years, Zlatan Ibrahimovic completes the podium with 24 units. Pauleta, Neymar and Edinson Cavani, three other players from the capital club, arrive well placed. Back in France at the start of the transfer window, Alexandre Lacazette (5th tied with 21 penalties) should quickly have the opportunity to improve his mark, he who was the Lyon specialist during his first visit to the club. It will perhaps be the same for Thomas Mangani (9th tied with 18 penalties), a newcomer to AC Ajaccio during this off-season.
