Young Midfielder Assan Ouedraogo’s rapid rise garners attention from European giants
Assan Ouedraogo, the prodigious midfielder for Schalke, has drawn in the attention of several Premier League giants in an exciting rise to prominence. Ouedraogo etched his name into Schalke’s long and distinguished history by becoming the youngest player ever to step onto the pitch in the 2. Bundesliga this season. His debut performance was nothing short of spectacular, breaking the team scoring record and marking his arrival with a debut goal.
Premier League giants like Chelsea, Manchester City, and Newcastle United have been keeping a close eye on Ouedraogo’s progress, identifying his extraordinary talent and potential. However, they are not alone in this admiration. Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion, and West Ham United are among the clubs interested in signing the young star.
Considering Schalke’s proactive efforts to secure Ouedraogo’s future with a three-year contract, the German club suffers financial difficulties. Their dangerous financial status, resulting from relegation from the Bundesliga in 2021 and continuous among divisions, provides a big challenge in retaining the newly-arrived talent.
While Ouedraogo’s club has had a difficult start to the current 2. Bundesliga season, the midfielder remains a ray of light. Apart from the Premier League, Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid, Valencia, Lens, Marseille, and Nice have all shown interest in the Schalke gem, setting up the situation for a potential bidding battle for the player’s services.
