Espanyol's hidden gem for their attack: Serie A forward

Espanyol has set its sights on Walid Cheddira, a Moroccan forward who currently belongs to Napoli, as their priority to strengthen the forward line in this end-of-market period.

With just a few days left before the transfer window closes, the club continues to seek to improve its squad, which already has six new additions, of which five have already debuted in La Liga. However, the arrival of Cheddira is not a straightforward operation, as Napoli prefers a permanent transfer and the player has several clubs interested in his services.

Cheddira, 26, comes from a season on loan at Frosinone, where he scored seven goals in 36 games in Serie A. Previously, in Serie B with Bari, he showcased his scoring ability by netting 17 goals in 31 matches. Furthermore, his involvement with the Moroccan national team in the Qatar World Cup has raised his profile, further complicating negotiations for Espanyol.

The blanquiazul's sporting director, led by Manolo González, believes that Cheddira could be the pure center forward they need to complement their attack. Currently, Espanyol has four forwards: Véliz, Puado, Cardona, and Pere Milla, although some of them can also play on the wings. The addition of the Moroccan would offer an extra option in the offensive line and could be crucial in solving the goal-scoring problem that has plagued the team in recent matches.
