La Liga: The Cédric Bakambu situation raises questions at Real Betis

Nothing is going right for Congolese international Cédric Bakambu at Real Betis since his return from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Struggling physically, the Leopard is finding it hard to impress with the Andalusian club in the Spanish league (La Liga).

His most recent outing against Alavés was extremely disappointing, much to the frustration of manager Manuel Pellegrini, who was forced to start him due to Cucho Hernández's injury and Chimy Ávila's lack of form.

His ongoing physical issues could even rule him out of Thursday's Europa League clash on January 29 against Feyenoord Rotterdam.

Listed among potential departures, Cédric Bakambu has caught the eye of several Italian clubs, who are reportedly keen on signing him during this winter transfer window.

In 16 appearances this season, Bakagoal has scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists.
