Belgian international Johan Bakayoko, who emerged as a right winger for PSV Eindhoven, scored 14 goals and provided 14 assists in 48 appearances last season through the Eredivisie and Champions League.
He made his debut for the national team in March 2023 and was also selected for EURO 2024. The 21-year-old attacker, who has developed into one of the best wingers in the world, has attracted interest from a number of strong clubs and is expected to step up his game this summer.
According to transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are also following the Belgian winger’s progress, but no moves have been made as of yet and it will take time.
“Arsenal are also being linked with Johan Bakayoko by some outlets, while names like Chelsea and Liverpool have also come up, but I’m told nothing is concrete yet for Bakayoko,”
“Many clubs are following the exciting young Belgian winger, but no club has reached out to PSV Eindhoven yet, so we need to be patient on this one.“
