Exclusive: Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea are monitoring a French player valued between €25-30 million.

LOSC Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi is drawing interest from top European clubs, including AC Milan, Juventus, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea.

Scouts from these clubs have observed Bouaddi during his performances against Juventus and Lyon, with sources telling CaughtOffside that his displays have caught the attention of several top teams. The 17-year-old central midfielder is highly regarded across Europe, and his recent showings have only increased speculation about a potential move.

Bouaddi particularly impressed in the UEFA Champions League match against Juventus, which ended 1-1. He finished the game with an 87% pass completion rate, one assist, and two crucial defensive contributions.

Lille has no intention of letting Bouaddi leave anytime soon, as he is under contract until 2027 and the club is eager to secure his future. However, given the rising interest from Europe’s elite clubs, Bouaddi may be reluctant to extend his deal. His market value is estimated between €25-30 million.

Bouaddi’s potential has made him a sought-after prospect, and while Lille hopes to retain him, the growing interest from top clubs could complicate matters. With his ability to play in defensive midfield, he could become a valuable addition to any of these Premier League sides, which are in need of more depth and quality in the middle of the park. A move to the Premier League would offer him the chance for regular first-team football, potentially accelerating his development.
