It's easy to see why. He's 6-foot-1 with a lean build, but strides forward with power and has a remarkable ability to quicken his step just enough to nip in and intercept a pass. He ranks in the 85th percentile in Ligue 1 for dribblers tackled, plus the 78th and 92nd percentiles for progressive passes and successful take-ons, respectively. This is a player who can halt opponents' attacks, then start his own in seconds.

A teenager who regularly starts at a club is notable event. A 16-year-old who regularly starts for one of the teams vying to be promoted to the Bundesliga is something else. Ergo everybody looked over to Hertha Berlin as Kennet Eichhorn, a product of Hertha Berlin's illustrious academy, suddenly got integrated into the first and started gathering minutes as the 2025/26 season began. He impressed with his technique and decision making,

Senegalese forward Iliman Ndiaye is becoming one of the hottest properties in European football following his explosive start to the season. According to a report from Footmercato, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Liverpool have all made preliminary contact to express their interest in the 25-year-old, who has been in scintillating form since the start of the campaign. Ndiaye has registered four goals and one assist in 12 appearances, playing a pivotal role

I don't know to what extent I can influence things there - other than showing him appreciation. I show him that every day.

According to a report from TMW, Mitongo is one of the most promising young strikers on the Belgian scene. Born in 2008 and currently in the Standard Liège youth academy, he's a striker who won't turn 18 until next January, but he's already in the sights of several top European clubs.

"I'm going to be completely honest. It really shook me up. We're talking about a global giant, Bayern Munich, where a coach with that kind of history, Kompany, calls me. And we had a conversation there. He was super polite to me, said he always really liked my football, and this was at 11pm, a little after 11. Whether I wanted to or not, it really affected me."

Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi has become a player in demand, with Sky Sports Deutschland reporting that his agent, super-agent Jorge Mendes, has held discussions with several top European clubs, including Manchester United. While this does not mean a departure is imminent, it signals a growing uncertainty surrounding Adeyemi's long-term future at the Westfalenstadion. Adeyemi, now 23, is locked into a Dortmund contract that runs until 2027.

Bayern Munich and Germany winger Serge Gnabry has turned in strong performance after strong performance so far in 2025/26, as he looks ahead to next summer's Men's World Cup - as well as his own impending free agency. That free agency may never arrive, though, if he re-ups with his current club. And that is becoming a more concrete possibility, according to a report from Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg. As captured by @iMiaSanMia_GER:

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton, and Aston Villa are monitoring his progress. Tottenham are looking to add more technical ability and creativity to the side. They believe that the Belgian could prove to be a useful acquisition for them. He has excellent technique and vision. He will help create opportunities in the final third and allow Spurs to break down deep defensive units. De Cat has 10 goal contributions this season.

The French midfielder arrived at Modena from Belgium but had long been followed by Italian clubs, particularly when he played for French side Clermont Foot. The Roman newspaper states that two years ago Juventus had tried to sign him for their Next Gen team, but his fate took a different path. Milan - presumably through Geoffrey Moncada, who is always attentive to talent in France - had also inquired about him, but never materialised.

And the 21-year-old has made best use of his second season at the club, taking his game up a level, scoring 13 goals in 13 games and adding 3 goals in 4 games in the Europa League. Perhaps this is why, according to Danish news site bold (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), the German champions still have an eye on him:

He didn't have the best of starts to life in the Premier League as two serious knee injuries meant he was on the pitch for a total of just 169 minutes last season. However, Igor Thiago has completely turned things around in the ongoing campaign. Following the departure of Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, he has been handed a starting role in the team, and the Brazilian striker is backing it up with sensational performances.

It won't just be Newcastle [interested in Aghehowa], it'll be interesting. Newcastle did look at him when they were looking at replacements for Alexander Isak before they moved for Nick Woltemade, so, he's obviously on their list. I don't think it'd be a top priority for them now having brought in Woltemade and Wissa, but Tottenham are interested in him.

There's only a limit to what a player on a scholarship can earn. There's only a limit to what a player can can get before he's 17 or on a pro deal. He's agreed terms on his scholarship, but that doesn't secure him at Arsenal. I think people are going over the top here. I'm told Arsenal are massively playing this down.

The 22-year-old is already a useful player for them, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. The French defender has all the tools to develop into a top-class player for Chelsea with the right guidance. It will be interesting to see if the two parties can finalise an agreement. Gusto has been linked with a move away from Chelsea in the past.
