Wissam Ben Yedder (born 12 August 1990) is a French footballer who plays as a centre striker for Toulouse in Ligue 1. He is nicknamed "Benyebut", incorporating but, the French word for a goal.[2]

Having begun his career at amateurs UJA Alfortville, he joined Toulouse in 2010. In 2015, he reached 50 Ligue 1 goals for them, having a year earlier surpassed André-Pierre Gignac as their greatest league scorer of the 21st century. At international level, he has represented France at under-21 level, and at futsal.

Born in Sarcelles, Île-de-France, of Tunisian descent,[2] Ben Yedder began his career at local UJA Alfortville in the fourth-tier Championnat de France Amateur, before moving to Toulouse FC of Ligue 1 in 2010.[2]

On 16 October 2010, he made his professional debut in a 0–2 home loss to Paris Saint-Germain, replacing Yannis Tafer for the final 29 minutes. He made 13 substitute appearances across his first two seasons, and scored his first goal for Toulouse on 21 April 2012: ten minutes after coming on in place of Paulo Machado, he equalised in an eventual 2–1 loss at Evian.[3]

In the following three Ligue 1 campaigns, Ben Yedder recorded 15, 16 and 14 goals respectively.[2] On 10 August 2012, in the first game of the season, he came on at half time for Pantxi Sirieix and equalised for a 1–1 draw at reigning champions and local rivals Montpellier.[4] In the reverse fixture, the last of the campaign, on 26 May 2013, he scored both goals in a win over Montpellier.[5]

On 30 November 2013, Ben Yedder scored a first hat-trick in a 5–1 home win over Sochaux.[6] He recorded another treble on the following 17 May as Toulouse finished the season with a 3–1 win over Valenciennes.[7]
