Cedric Bakambu
35-Year-Old
Betis
La Liga
Veteran presence in attack
Bakambu has been named in Congo's World Cup squad as one of the key attacking figures, arriving at the tournament after a productive season with Real Betis.
ANALYSIS
Bakambu contributed four goals and three assists across all competitions this season, delivering a consistent output that underlines his continued value as an experienced and technically accomplished forward. His ability to combine in tight spaces, hold up play and deliver in the final third makes him a perfect partner for Yoane Wissa up front, with the two expected to form one of the more dangerous attacking partnerships among the smaller nations at the tournament. At 35, Bakambu brings the experience and composure needed to perform on the biggest stage, and his leadership within the Congolese attack will be crucial in a World Cup debut that represents the pinnacle of the nation's footballing history.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Option to bolster Sevilla attack
Sevilla are looking at Bakambu to bolster their attacking line for the second half of the season, according to Spanish outlet MARCA.
ANALYSIS
Sevilla were keen on signing Anthony Martial from Manchester United, but the Premier League's club inflexible demands have forced the Liga giants to seek other alternatives. That's where the name of Bakambu comes along, as he would be a low-cost addition to bolster a strikers' room that only has Rafa Mir and Youssef En-Nesyri as reliable alternatives.
