Senny Mayulu, the 19-year-old Paris Saint-Germain sensation, has emerged as the most sought-after young talent in Europe.
While Arsenal and Chelsea lead the chase, Aston Villa and Newcastle United have also registered their interest in the versatile midfielder.
Scouting Missions
Champions League and Ligue 1 sources close to the clubs indicate that scouts from Arsenal and Chelsea have intensified their monitoring of Mayulu over the past few weeks.
The youngster was under heavy scrutiny during PSG's high-pressure Champions League clash against Athletic Bilbao, where his tactical maturity and composure stood out.
The scouting missions continued into domestic action, with representatives from both London clubs attending the Ligue 1 fixture against Lille to gather more data on his consistency and physical development.
Tactical Fit
The reports reaching London have been overwhelmingly positive. Mayulu’s profile fits the long-term vision of both Mikel Arteta and Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior. His ability to operate across various midfield roles and his technical security make him an ideal "modern playmaker" candidate.
Rosenior, in particular, is keen on integrating more high-ceiling youth talent into the Stamford Bridge setup, while Arteta views him as a perfect addition to Arsenal's evolving midfield engine.
In other Chelsea news, Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly eyeing Axel Disasi as a replacement for Emmanuel Agbadou, who is set to join Besiktas in Turkey.
The PSG Stance
Despite the mounting interest from England, a move will be far from straightforward.
PSG are well aware of Mayulu's immense ceiling and regard him as a cornerstone of their future project. The French champions are not in a position where they need to sell, and sources suggest they have no intention of listening to offers at this stage.
It would likely take an astronomical bid to even bring the Parisians to the negotiating table, as they currently view the player as "untouchable."
While no formal bids have been submitted by any of the Premier League quartet, the frequency of these scouting missions suggests a major move could be on the horizon.
Whether it happens in a deadline-day dash or becomes a saga for the summer of 2026, the battle for Senny Mayulu is just beginning. The player's own career ambitions and the allure of the Premier League may eventually test PSG's resolve, but for now, the door remains firmly shut.
