- RMC Sport reporting says Arsenal are pushing for a January move, with talks held with the player’s entourage and figures around £39–44m cited.
- Chelsea are widely reported to be in the race, with some outlets suggesting confidence in their pitch and a possible development loan to Strasbourg.
- Bouaddi’s representatives publicly denied that talks with Paris Saint-Germain are underway despite recent speculation.
