A major transfer battle could be brewing ahead of the January transfer window, with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur reportedly stepping up their interest in Bayer Leverkusen’s exciting young attacking talent, Ibrahim Maza.
The 20-year-old Algerian international has quickly established himself as one of the most promising young attacking players in German football, attracting attention with his technical ability, creativity, dribbling skills and versatility in advanced positions.
Arsenal and Tottenham have both been monitoring his development, with Mikel Arteta and Spurs’ recruitment team understood to be impressed by the youngster’s performances.
However, the situation has become considerably more complicated following Paris Saint-Germain’s emergence in the race. PSG have reportedly added Maza to their list of potential January targets after Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia suffered a serious ACL injury.
The French champions are assessing their attacking options, and Maza is now among the players being considered as they evaluate possible reinforcements.
Chelsea, Manchester City and Aston Villa have also been linked with monitoring the youngster, highlighting just how quickly his reputation is growing across Europe.
But there is one major obstacle: Bayer Leverkusen have absolutely no desire to lose one of their brightest prospects midway through the season.
The Bundesliga club reportedly want to protect their investment and are prepared to offer Maza an improved contract to discourage potential suitors.
With PSG’s financial power, Arsenal’s ambitions and Tottenham’s interest all potentially coming into play, this could become one of the most interesting transfer battles of the January window.
💣 Arsenal, Tottenham or PSG? Where should Ibrahim Maza continue his development?
One thing is certain: Leverkusen will not make his departure easy!
