Chris Vianney Bedia (born 5 March 1996) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays for German Bundesliga club Union Berlin. He represented the Ivory Coast under-20s in the 2015 Toulon Tournament.
Club career
Tours
Bedia started his career at the age of 18 with Tours FC in Ligue 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. 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. 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.
Servette
On 24 January 2022, Bedia signed with Servette in the Swiss Super League.
Union Berlin
On 18 January 2024, Bedia moved to Union Berlin in Germany.
