Overview
- Arsenal and Tottenham have intensified monitoring and are reported to have compiled detailed scouting dossiers during the U20 World Cup.
- Scouts from Chelsea, Brighton, Brentford and Watford have tracked the 17-year-old, while Inter and Udinese are also named and said to have stepped up contact.
- Reports describe Saint-Étienne as unwilling to rush a sale, a stance that could force suitors to present clear first-team pathways before bidding.
- N’Guessan shone for France’s U20s in Chile after eight senior outings last season, and L’Équipe reports he has yet to feature in Ligue 2 this campaign.
- Some coverage suggests Chelsea could explore the BlueCo route via Strasbourg as a potential pathway if a transfer were pursued.
