It is an understatement to say that the box of January was checked on the calendar of Oumar Solet. Arrived in September at the Udinese after the termination of his contract in Salzburg, the 25 -year -old defender was impatient at the idea of ​​defending his new colors. His wish materialized on January 4, not before, since he had joined the Italian club during the enrollment period. But since his beginnings, let's say that Solet no longer really wants to get out of the eleven of the zebrette, and his trainer either.

Only two months have passed, but the former Lyonnais did not need more time before making everyone agree. In 8 Serie A games, he has already been elected MVP twice, finished three times in the team of the week, and once in the team of the month. Figures that have placed its service states since its arrival, undeniably linked to the excellent dynamics of Udinese. The training led by Kosta Runjaic has lost only one match with Solet in its ranks, won 4, and recorded 6 clean Sheet.

He has not yet made a decision for his international future

“I am a player who adapts easily to all kinds of situations. It was important to arrive in a big championship and show what I was capable of (…) My goal is to continue to have fun and simply agree. I want to show who is really Oumar Solet. If, tomorrow, I have opportunities, we will see. For the moment, I'm very happy here “, Explained the interested party in an interview with The team recently.

According to certain information from the Italian press, Inter Milan, Lazio or Atalanta, would carefully follow the performance of the Melun native. Lately, La Gazzetta dello Sport wrote for example about him: “Precise, attentive, he puts his physique and his quality at the service of the team. He has no defects and stops surprising us. “ His contract, which stretches until 2027, should not prevent him from being asked next summer, both in club and selection. As a reminder, Solet is eligible to evolve with Côte d'Ivoire, which ardently courts it, the Central African Republic and … France, where competition remains very important. On date, the one who experienced the selections of young tricolors from the U17s to the U20, has still not made his decision.
