Aurelien Tchouameni has established himself as one of the most promising midfielders in Europe during his two seasons at Monaco. The 22-year-old was voted Ligue 1 player of the year in 2021 and boosted his reputation further by playing a pivotal role in last season's third-place finish.
The Frenchman made 50 appearances across all competitions to help Philippe Clement’s side qualify for the Champions League and his sensational displays have seen him linked with an array of European football’s top clubs. Chelsea, Liverpool and Spanish champions Real Madrid are among those rumoured to be interested in acquiring his services.
Midfield is an area that the Blues boss Thomas Tuchel is believed to be keen on strengthening with Jorginho and N’Golo Kante both in their 30s, and poised to enter the final year of their respective contracts. Tchouameni’s combative nature, ability to make interceptions and close opponents down at pace would make him an almost like-for-like replacement for the latter.
