According to Foot Mercato, AS Monaco, Chelsea and Juventus are among the clubs interested in Stoke City’s England U18 international Souleymane Sidibé (17).

Sidibé, son of former Stoke City player Mamady Sidibé, has been garnering elite-level interest ever since he was 14, with clubs like Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool all lurking since an early age. Having made his debut for the Potters at the age of 16, Sidibé has gone on to feature in eight matches in all competitions this season.

His breakthrough at EFL Championship side Stoke City, as well as his recent appearance for the England U18 side have seen Sidibé attract interest. In England, Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion are interested in the midfielder, capable of playing in the No.8 or No.6 positions. Rangers are also interested, whilst on the continent, Juventus and AS Monaco also figure amongst the candidates in the race to sign Sidibé.
