Arsenal, Manchester United, Newcastle United eyeing Bazoumana Toure

Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle United are all keen on signing Hoffenheim attacking sensation Bazoumana Toure.

Bazoumana Toure could be heading to the Premier League in the near future as multiple top clubs are keeping tabs on him. According to a report from CaughtOffside, Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle United are all interested in acquiring the services of the Ivorian international.

Toure, who made a name for himself at Swedish club Hammarby, has only gone from strength to strength since joining Hoffenheim at the start of 2025. The 19-year-old has established himself as a key figure at the German club in no time.

So far, he has been involved in 29 games and has contributed towards 10 goals. Seven of those goal contributions have come in his 16 appearances this season.

His stock is rising at a rapid rate, and clubs from across Europe seem interested in the teenager, who prefers playing out wide on the left but is capable enough to feature anywhere in attack.

Premier League trio to battle for Toure

There is a significant amount of interest in his services from the Premier League ahead of the winter transfer window. He is on the radar of Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle United, who have already begun initial background checks and data-driven scouting of the Ivorian winger, who is currently taking part in the African Cup of Nations.

Scouts from the three clubs are particularly impressed with his ability to operate in transition-heavy systems. Hoffenheim are reluctant to sell him in the winter window. While reports suggest clubs are ready to make offers close to €35 million, they would prefer to have him around until the end of the season and would want around €44–45 million to sanction an exit.

Since his contract runs until the summer of 2029, the German club will certainly be in the driving seat during negotiations. He currently earns around €840,000 per year, and a move to England will significantly increase his wages.

Manchester United and Arsenal are believed to be front-runners for his signature. But even they will have to wait until next summer to secure his services, even though they are ready to formalise their interest in January.
