Walid Cheddira
LEC
Departing Lecce for now
Cheddira hasn't been redeemed by Lecce, but his return remains a possibility, L'Edicola reported.
Analysis: Cheddira scored some key goals to help Lecce avoid relegation down the stretch, but the club deemed his option to buy too expensive. They'll try to bring him back for a different formula or for a cheaper fee, but he's heading back to Napoli for the time being.
Nets brace
Cheddira scored two goals to go with four shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-2 win against Sassuolo.
Analysis: Cheddira played a huge part in the win Sunday, scoring two goals against Sassuolo. He's recorded three goals with an assist in the last five appearances, totaling 12 shots with three tackles in that span.
Mostly silent against Juventus
Cheddira had two shots (one on goal) and one clearance and drew five fouls in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Juventus.
Analysis: Cheddira was confirmed in the XI after showing out last week, but couldn't follow it up nicely against a much better opponent. He'll continue to split duties with Francesco Camarda and Nikola Stulic. He has fired at least one shot in the last five rounds, amassing nine attempts (four on target), scoring and assisting once and logging one key pass and one tackle (one won), during that stretch.
Scores and assists against Pisa
Cheddira scored one goal and assisted once from one shot (one on target) and one chance created in Friday's 2-1 victory over Pisa.
Analysis: Cheddira had his best performance of the season, springing Lameck Banda loose ahead of the opening goal and then hitting the net of his own with a sharp finish. He had last put his name in the stat sheet in the second round when he was at Sassuolo. He'll likely earn more starts over Nikola Stulic and Francesco Camarda following this showing. He has taken one or more shots in the last four matches, amassing seven attempts (three on target) and adding one key pass, one tackle (one won) and one interception during that stretch.
