Arsenal are being linked with a move for RB Leipzig midfielder Assan Ouédraogo, with the Bundesliga youngster reportedly given just an 8% probability of switching to north London at this stage.
The 19-year-old central midfielder, valued at around €10.00m, is the subject of early speculation over a potential transfer from Leipzig to the Premier League club, according to data compiled from Transfermarkt. While there is no indication of a fee being agreed or talks progressing, the low probability rating underlines that interest remains at a very preliminary stage.
Ouédraogo only joined Leipzig from Schalke in the 2024–25 season, moving up from the Gelsenkirchen club where he progressed through the youth ranks from U17 to the first team. With no contract expiry date listed in the data, there is no clear sign yet that he is close to becoming a free agent, but the lack of detail around his deal inevitably adds to speculation over his long‑term future in Saxony.
Born on 9 May 2006 in Mülheim an der Ruhr, the 1.91m right‑footer is eligible for both Germany and Burkina Faso. Primarily a central midfielder, he has been tracked as a rising talent since his breakthrough at Schalke, where his market value jumped from €500,000 in mid‑2023 to €10.00m by June 2024. After an initial dip following his move to Leipzig, that valuation has stabilised again at €10.00m in October 2025.
Ouédraogo has yet to be heavily linked with other clubs in the current window, and no specific recent match performances are highlighted in the available data, leaving scouts and analysts to lean largely on his profile, physical attributes and rapid value growth when assessing his suitability for Arsenal.
If a move were eventually to materialise, a switch from the Bundesliga to the Premier League at 19 could prove a defining step in Ouédraogo’s development, shaping both his reputation in European football and the trajectory of a career that is still in its early stages.
