Stade Rennais could take the lead in the race for the services of West Ham United and Chelsea attacking target Wesley Gassova.
According to a report from Foot Mercato, Stade Rennais are interested in acquiring the services of Wesley Gassova. The Ligue 1 club are looking to prepare for life without Desire Doue, and they feel the Brazilian youngster could be the ideal fit. They are willing to battle both Chelsea and West Ham for his services.
Wesley has come up the ranks at Corinthians, and he has been a part of their first team since the summer of 2023. At just 19, he already has 79 appearances for their first team with seven goals and six assists. 41 of his appearances have come in the ongoing season and his performances surely have not gone unnoticed.
Chelsea and West Ham keen on Wesley
While Wesley Gassova still has three years left on his deal at the Brazilian club, there are high chances of him making a move away this summer. Chelsea and West Ham United are two clubs who have a long-standing interest in the youngster.
Both clubs are always looking for opportunities to sign some of the best young talents in the world and feel Wesley has the potential to reach great heights. He has the pace and the ability to take on defenders and can surely have an impact on the final third.
The Blues’ new project revolves around signing the best young players, and they seem keen on having the 19-year-old in their squad. While both Chelsea and West Ham have submitted an offer for his services, they have not succeeded yet, and Stade Rennais look all set to leapfrog the English clubs in the race for his services.
Wesley Gassova to join Stade Rennais?
The Ligue 1 club will most likely lose out on their star winger Desire Doue, who has been linked with a host of top clubs. While the youngster is currently on international duty at the Olympics, he is expected to be on the move this summer, and Stade Rennais have already started to look for an ideal replacement.
They feel Wesley could be a great fit for their system, he is young and could develop into a star. As per the report, the player would like to play in Ligue 1 before making the move to England. As a result, Rennes seem to be the best possible destination for him as he will get enough opportunities to develop at the Ligue 1 club.
