Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Wednesday that Sky Sports says Arsenal have watched and added 21‑year‑old Jean‑Matteo Bahoya to their left‑wing shortlist.
- The Athletic and other sources say Tottenham have also identified Bahoya as an alternative target, creating the prospect of north London competition.
- Bahoya is noted for elite pace, having recorded a Bundesliga tracked top speed of 23.09 mph, and has developed at Eintracht Frankfurt since a January 2024 move from Angers.
- He is valued at about £21 million on Transfermarkt but is under contract until 2029, which could push any realistic transfer fee above that figure.
- Scouts describe him as a high‑upside, developmental option whose dribbling and speed are major assets but whose final‑third output still needs refinement, and no formal offer has been reported yet.
