Scouting Report & Player Insights
Walid Cheddira is a physically imposing Moroccan-Italian striker who made his name earning promotion with Bari before a move to Napoli and a subsequent switch to Sassuolo. He is a target-man type forward who thrives on holding up play, winning aerial duels, and finishing chances created by others rather than dribbling past defenders. His combination of Italian upbringing and Moroccan heritage saw him represent Morocco at senior international level, including scoring at the Africa Cup of Nations. At Sassuolo he is used as a focal point of the attack, valued for his work rate and physical presence more than technical flair.
Scored prolifically for Bari in Serie B, helping them reach the 2023 promotion playoff final.
Moved from Bari to Napoli before eventually joining Sassuolo.
