Chelsea are among the Premier League clubs monitoring RB Leipzig young midfielder Assan Ouedraogo, who has had an impressive start to his season in the Bundesliga, according to reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Considering Chelsea<\/a>‘s recent transfer strategies under the BlueCo ownership, it is hardly a surprise that they have been linked with plenty of young talents around the world.<\/p>\n

Some of the names linked are really young, which would force them a year or two to turn 18 before being allowed to move to West London, just like Estevao or, more recently, Deinner Ordonez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ouedraogo is not one of these very raw talents..<\/p>\n

He is already 19 and is playing quite regularly for Leipzig in the Bundesliga. He has featured in all of Leipzig’s 11 league games this season, eight of which as a starter.<\/p>\n

Ouedraogo has racked up three goals and three assists in these games, putting him third at the club in terms of direct goal contributions.<\/p>\n

It is not just in the Bundesliga; the former Schalke midfielder has recently made his senior debut for Germany and topped it off with a debut goal.<\/p>\n

He needed just two minutes after coming on as a substitute in the second half before scoring his first goal for Germany in their 6-0 win over Slovakia last week.<\/p>\n

According to a report from Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg<\/a>, Premier League clubs are ‘crazy’ about the centre midfielder ahead of the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are one of the two clubs mentioned to be scouting him, alongside Manchester United.<\/p>\n

That said, Ouedraogo joined Leipzig in the summer of 2024 and is tied to the club until 2029 without any release clauses.<\/p>\n

Leipzig would be in a strong negotiation position in any potential talks, and the German side usually demands lucrative offers for their talents.<\/p>\n

Chelsea, of course, already have another young midfield talent, Kendry Paez, who is currently on loan at Strasbourg. Paez is a year younger and is having his first season in Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea are among the Premier League clubs monitoring RB Leipzig young midfielder Assan Ouedraogo, who has had an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":591564,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5310],"tags":[2000,299,1824],"class_list":{"0":"post-591563","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-germany","8":"tag-eu","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-germany"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115606897113039531","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=591563"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591563\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/591564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=591563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=591563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=591563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
