Among the teams scheduled to have first discussions with Rennes on the possible signing of promising attacking midfielder Desire Doue is Arsenal. CaughtOffside has been told by sources close to the player’s circumstances that Arsenal has actively monitored Doue, as have other elite teams like Manchester United, Aston Villa, Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, Napoli, and Real Madrid.
Doue has shown promise in Ligue 1, and he could soon be able to make a significant transfer. Rennes are hesitant to go with the gifted 18-year-old, but a €35 million bid may persuade them otherwise. According to sources, in the coming days, Arsenal, Leverkusen, and Napoli will intensify their interest and inquire of Rennes about Doue in order to get details on a possible trade.
Arsenal Eye €35m Move For Rising Star, Talks To Begin Soon
In 2023–2024 Arsenal was only two points behind Manchester City in the Premier League, barely missing out on the championship. The team led by Mikel Arteta is formidable, although they may use more ingenuity in midfield. When things are not going their way, they sometimes lack a goal threat. Doue might provide the Gunners an X-factor, even though they often control games and produce excellent opportunities. He’s a fascinating long-term prospect who may thrive for the next ten years or more.
It is unclear, however, whether the Frenchman will start seeing regular playing time at Arsenal right away. He can take into consideration offers from Leverkusen and Napoli, where he might have more regular playing chances.
Top teams are interested in Doue’s possible move, and his future seems promising. His next move will probably mark a big professional advancement. The football world will be eagerly monitoring to see where this bright young talent ends up as Arsenal, Leverkusen, and Napoli get ready to make their queries.

This summer Arsenal is looking for a new striker. Mikel Arteta has made the Gunners a strong squad once again after a few erratic seasons. Twice already, they have come dangerously close to winning the Premier League, but they have failed. Maybe a fresh, elite striker is what they need to break through Manchester City’s supremacy.
Arsenal wants to sign Victor Osimhen, one of the top attackers in the world right now. Though major teams like Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are interested, Osimhen want to relocate to North London. Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli was where Italian journalist Valter De Maggio disclosed this inclination. Osimhen, he said, has the Premier League as his first objective and may think about moving to Saudi Arabia if no good offers arrive from England.
A substantial €130 million release clause is part of Osimhen’s Napoli deal. The striker is still looking to leave the Italian club despite this high price tag. His stellar record of 31 goals the previous season and 17 this one says it all. Any squad would benefit from his goal-scoring ability.
Arsenal has to get a new forward very badly. Last season’s performances by Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus fell short of expectations. Though Osimhen’s presence would improve the team’s offensive, Kai Havertz performed excellently as a false nine. Though Arsenal may have to go far into their transfer budget to obtain Osimhen, it could be the key to severing Manchester City’s grip on the Premier League championship.
