Sampdoria is considering Chris Bedia, a 28-year-old French-Ivorian forward who currently plays for Hull City. The club regards him as a more experienced option compared to other profiles being evaluated. With the winter transfer window closing in less than a week, Sampdoria recognizes the need to act swiftly to strengthen their offensive lineup, which has been weakened by Gennaro Tutino's injury. Despite having explored several other options like Petagna, Henry, and Gytkjaer, the club has not progressed to actual negotiations with any of them, prompting a search abroad for talent. Bedia is included among the candidates due to his experience, as other potential signings such as Heggebo and Willumsson are considered younger and less proven.
