Chelsea and Manchester United are keen on signing 17-year-old German midfielder Assan Ouedraogo, who has drawn comparisons to Paul Pogba.
A report from TEAMtalk claims that Chelsea and Manchester United are interested in signing 17-year-old German wonderkid Assan Ouedraogo. The two Premier League heavyweights will compete with Bayern Munich for his signature.
The teenage sensation has been likened to French international midfielder Paul Pogba, formerly of Manchester United, because of the similarities in playing style, and he has the potential to develop into a top-class midfielder in the near future.
Both Chelsea and Manchester United could use a quality central midfielder, and the 17-year-old could be a future investment for them. Ouedraogo has already established himself as a first-team player for Schalke, and his performances have shown that he is good enough to play for big clubs in the future.
The youngster will be hoping to continue his development with regular football in the coming months. Chelsea and Manchester United will probably have to offer him game-time assurances before signing him. If they cannot give him regular football, it would be ideal for them to loan him out after signing him.
Both clubs have the financial resources to get the deal done, and it remains to be seen whether the youngster ends up. Meanwhile, other Premier League bigwigs like Manchester City and Newcastle United are also keen on signing him.
The opportunity to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world can be hard to turn down. So, a move to Chelsea or Manchester United will be an exciting step in his career. Both Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag have a proven record when it comes to developing talented young players, and the German midfielder will certainly be excited to play under them.
A move to the Premier League from the second division of German football is a major step up. But Ouedraogo has the potential to make the transition and succeed at the English clubs. Chelsea will need to bring in a quality central midfielder to support Enzo Fernandez in the coming seasons and the German would be a long-term option for them.
Similarly, Manchester United are lacking a technically gifted central midfielder who can control the tempo of the game. The 17-year-old is thought to be on the radar of other European heavyweights as well. So, the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United should look to make their move quickly in order to beat the competition for his signature.
