Jean-Christophe Bahebeck is attracting growing interest from England following his strong performance at the Toulon tournament, where he scored four goals for France’s U21 team (the Bleuets). Despite struggling with relegation last season while on loan at Valenciennes, Bahebeck—who still has two years left on his Paris Saint-Germain contract—is now on the radar of English clubs.
Interestingly, it’s not just Premier League teams looking at him; Charlton Athletic, a club in the English Championship (second division), has reportedly contacted Bahebeck’s family to explore his interest in moving to England. At Charlton, Bahebeck could reunite with Loïc Nego, a fellow French player and former Nantes defender who joined the London club last winter.
Meanwhile, Arsenal and other top clubs are also keeping tabs on the young striker. PSG would likely consider letting him go if they receive an appealing offer.
Last season at Valenciennes, Bahebeck scored 2 Ligue 1 goals, adding to the 3 goals he netted in 2012/2013 while at Troyes. Moving to England could offer him a fresh challenge and a chance to continue his development.
