Chelsea are preparing a plan to beat the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United to the signature of Loukman Tapsoba.
Loukman Tapsoba’s sensational rise at Realm of Faso has caught the attention of multiple top clubs in Europe. Following his impressive performances at the Under-17 World Cup, Premier League giants are keen on signing the 15-year-old, who has been compared to Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Chelsea are looking to beat Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United to the signature of the African attacking sensation. The Blues are one of the clubs that have been scouting him throughout 2025.
Loukman Tapsoba has done wonders for club and country. He is widely regarded as one of the best young attackers in Africa, and Premier League giants are pushing hard to secure his services.
Manchester United, who have shifted their focus towards signing young players in the recent past, were seen as the front-runners to sign the 15-year-old. However, it seems Chelsea have stepped up their pursuit.
The Blues’ project revolves around signing the best young players, and they do not want to miss out on someone who is considered a generational talent and has traits similar to Drogba.
Despite being one of the youngest players at the Under-17 World Cup, Tapsoba certainly stood out with his performances. While he would be unable to move until 2027, clubs are looking to secure a pre-agreement.
Premier League giants to battle for Tapsoba
Arsenal and Liverpool have also been scouting him in the recent past as they look to add more depth to their squad. They feel he could eventually become an important part of their first-team and are ready to make a significant investment to sign him.
Chelsea are no strangers to setting up transfers for the future, having done so to sign some of the brightest young talents. They certainly have a tempting project and are looking to edge the competition by moving quickly.
Tapsoba, who is currently focused on doing his best for Realm of Faso, will soon have a massive decision to make with regards to his future as the biggest clubs in England are after his signature. It will be interesting to see which club he ends up joining.
