French Footballer Ben Yedder extends contract with Monaco through 2026, staying in Ligue 1

French footballer Ben Yedder has extended his contract with Monaco until 2026 and will continue to play for the club in Ligue 1.

The news comes as a major boost for Monaco, who have struggled with form in recent seasons. Yedder, who joined Monaco from Bordeaux in 2017, has been a key player for the club over the past few years and has helped them achieve success on the pitch.

The 28-year-old forward has scored 45 goals in 99 appearances for Monaco, including a hat-trick against Paris Saint-Germain in a Coupe de France final last season. He also played a crucial role in helping Monaco win the league title in the 2019-20 season.

Yedder's decision to extend his contract with Monaco is a testament to his commitment to the club and his desire to continue playing at the highest level. It also shows that Monaco has made significant progress under new manager Lucien Favre, who took over after the departure of Vahid Halilhodžić earlier this year.

With Yedder now committed to Monaco until 2026, it remains to be seen what impact he can have on the team going forward. However, his experience and leadership could be invaluable as Monaco look to challenge for honours next season and beyond.
