Arsenal Join Spurs in Tracking Saint-Étienne Teen Djylian N’Guessan

Age rules mean any Premier League move must wait until he turns 18.

Overview

  • Scouts from Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Brighton, Brentford and Watford have compiled reports on the France Under-20 striker, according to multiple reports relaying Caught Offside.
  • The 17-year-old made eight senior appearances for Saint-Étienne last season and seven at the Under-20 World Cup, with no goals recorded in either competition.
  • Reports highlight his maturity, composure and 1.80m frame, noting strength, technique and aerial ability that have kept recruitment teams engaged.
  • Saint-Étienne are reported to value him as a future cornerstone and would only consider an exceptional offer at this stage.
  • Some coverage frames the links as exploratory or possibly agent-driven, with clubs expected to continue monitoring rather than entering formal talks now.
