Chelsea are reportedly close to securing the signature of Mathis Eboue, the 15-year-old son of former Arsenal and Ivory Coast star Emmanuel Eboue.
Discussions with Watford over compensation for the talented teenager are currently underway, according to information gathered in England.
Mathis, a promising attacker, has already made waves in youth football. Unlike his father, who was renowned as a right-back, Mathis appears set to make his mark as an exciting forward. He represents England at the U16 level and recently scored in a 1-0 victory against France at the U16 Challenge Trophy, helping his team clinch the title.
Despite his age, Mathis has already featured at the U21 level for Watford, holding his own against significantly older and more experienced players.
Chelsea and Watford are currently navigating the Premier League’s standard five-step process to determine fair compensation for the young talent. This process typically takes about three weeks to finalize.
Should the deal go through, Mathis Eboue’s move to Chelsea could mark the beginning of a remarkable career, building on his impressive early achievements.
