Chris Vianney Bedia (born 5 March 1996) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL Championship club Hull City on loan from Union Berlin. He represented the Ivory Coast under-20s in the 2015 Toulon Tournament.^[1]

Club career

Tours

Bedia started his career at the age of 18 with Tours FC in Ligue 2.^[2] Despite scoring a brace against Brest, he was unable to establish himself and thus transferred to Sporting Charleroi.

Sporting Charleroi

After his move to Belgium, Bedia had a strong first season but was subsequently rarely utilized.^[3] As a result, he was initially loaned to S.V. Zulte Waregem. However, in 17 games, he failed to score a single goal and returned to Charleroi. Despite being used more frequently after a change in coaching staff, the club loaned him to ES Troyes AC on August 14, 2019.^[4] Even there, the purchase option was not exercised, and Bedia returned once again to Charleroi.

He was loaned out again, this time to Sochaux. Having played a strong season there, Montpellier HSC expressed interest in signing the striker.^[5]

Servette

On 24 January 2022, Bedia signed with Servette in the Swiss Super League.^[6]

Union Berlin

On 18 January 2024, Bedia moved to Union Berlin in Germany.^[7]

Hull City

On 22 August 2024, Bedia joined EFL Championship club Hull City on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy.^[8] Two days later, on 24 August 2024, he came off the bench to make his debut, a 0–0 home draw with Millwall.^[9]
