Sidibe’s impressive displays at the youth level earned him a first-team call last year. His role in the side raw a rise this season where he got to feature in 26 games. In those many games, he scored a goal and provided seven assists.

Sidibe is a typical box-to-box midfielder who contributes to both aspects of the game. He is a strong guy and is good at the ball with both feet. He is one of the most promising talents in English football and definitely a youngster to watch out for in the near future.

High competition for Souleymane Sidibe

Ever since Todd Boehly came into power at Chelsea, the club have prioritized investing in youths. They are backing their plan of building a long-term squad. The alleged interest in Souleymane Sidibe is in the same direction for sure.

As the future of Conor Gallagher remains uncertain at Stamford Bridge, the Blues are eyeing a move for the 17-year-old. Though he isn’t going to be a direct replacement, he could be a long-term investment. With proper guidance and more experience, he has the skills to turn into an elite midfielder.
