After being forced to sell Andy Delort and Gaëtan Laborde before matchday five of the 21/22 Ligue 1 season, Montpellier fans would have been forgiven for fearing the worst.
The pair had scored 51.67% of Montpellier’s goals last campaign, and they’d scored five of the first nine goals of the new season. Thankfully, the board kept the next-best goal contributor, Téji Savanier.
The 29-year-old Frenchman’s heroics this season have helped Montpellier to fifth place in Ligue 1, just four points off second-placed Marseille. That is as many points away from 12th-placed Brest.
