Arsenal and Chelsea Join European Chase for 18-Year-Old Midfielder Amid Uncertain Marseille Future
A host of top clubs, including London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea, are closely watching the situation of Marseille’s promising teenage midfielder Darryl Bakola, according to reports from footmercato.
The 18-year-old has turned heads with his impressive performances in France, alerting scouts from across Europe. The Premier League interest is particularly strong, with Newcastle United also in the mix, alongside German sides VfB Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund.
Bakola’s future at his current club appears uncertain. While his contract runs until 2027, Marseille are pushing to secure his long-term commitment with a new deal. However, should the youngster decide against signing an extension, a transfer as early as next month could be on the cards.
The growing attention underscores Bakola’s rapid rise, placing him at a career crossroads. He must now weigh the security of staying with his boyhood club against the allure of a major move to one of Europe’s elite competitions.
