Teenage striker Ibrahima Cissé has become a regular face in the KAA Gent first team this season. The 18-year-old is now attracting attention from several major European clubs.
The Senegalese youth has made twelve appearances in all competitions. He has found the net once. A transfer this summer now looks possible for the young attacker.
Clubs across the continent are tracking his development. AS Monaco have emerged as serious candidates to secure his signature. The French outfit aims to continue their policy of recruiting Europe’s brightest prospects.
If Cissé moves to the Principality, he would join the club’s prestigious Groupe Élite programme for top young talent.
However, Monaco will not have a clear path to complete the deal. Premier League sides are also chasing the forward. Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Brighton and Hove Albion have all registered interest in the Belgian-based player.
German clubs are also keen. Both Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have asked about his situation. Despite the widespread attention, no concrete talks have begun at this stage.
