Desire Doue will leave Stade Rennes in the summer, with a host of clubs including Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham keen.
According to Journalist Abdellah Boulma, Premier League sides are on high alert to the prospect of signing Desire Doue. His side, Stade Rennes, are resigned to losing him in the summer and maximise his value through a sale in this window, with a host of top clubs queuing up to sign the teenager.

Desire Doue has two full seasons of top-level experience, and the previous campaign was by far his most exciting one. While he’s known as an attacking midfielder by trade, the 18-year-old attacker has been deployed as a left winger for most of his Stade Rennes career.
He can also operate in an attacking midfield or central midfield role equally well, making him a near-complete option for many of the top clubs. Rennes are resigned to losing him in the summer, with a host of clubs keeping close tabs on his situation.
Doue’s interesting profile makes him one of the most wanted profiles across the continent. Moreover, there’s a race to bring the best young talents from around, which could see Rennes benefit as they might anticipate a transfer battle of sorts for the 18-year-old attacker’s signature.
With two years left on his deal with the French side, Rennes might not get a better opportunity to cash in on Doue, with Arsenal and Manchester United among those keen. Tottenham are also keeping tabs, but in truth, there are a whole lot of other clubs monitoring the teenager’s situation.
Where will Desire Doue join?
Nowadays, many players tend to look at the project they enter into before deciding on the future. Arsenal are an exciting prospect, with a young team under Mikel Arteta likely to grow stronger and challenge for titles. The same might apply to Tottenham to an extent, with North London likely to prove an attractive destination for young players like Doue.
Manchester United’s FA Cup win has shown that they have an exciting crop of young players ready to break in. Adding Doue to the mix, especially as the club is looking for attacking reinforcements, would do the player well. Hence, the teenage boy might have to carefully choose where he wants to join, as he will certainly have many ample options on the table.
