Chelsea are closely monitoring Moroccan nugget Gessime Yassine
Recruiters from Chelsea FC were present at the Stade de la Meinau to watch the match between RC Strasbourg Alsace and Stade de Reims in the Coupe de France. According to several sources, their attention was particularly focused on the young 20-year-old winger Gessime Yassine, author of a remarkable performance during this meeting.
Arriving in Strasbourg during the winter transfer window from Dunkirk, the Moroccan U20 international is already starting to make a name for himself in Ligue 1. Against Reims, he delivered a very accomplished performance, multiplying dribbles, taking the initiative and dangerous situations for the opposing defense, to the point of attracting the attention of observers from England.
According to information relayed by several media, Chelsea should continue to closely monitor the development of the young winger in the weeks to come. London recruiters want to observe his progress as he could benefit from more playing time by the end of the season.
Even if the Blues are not necessarily looking for a right winger urgently, the profile of Gessime Yassine is intriguing within the English club. His explosiveness, his ability to eliminate one-on-one and his potential for progression make him a player of great interest to European recruitment cells.
Another element that could facilitate a possible move in the future: BlueCo, owner of Chelsea, also owns RC Strasbourg. This structural proximity between the two clubs could simplify possible discussions if interest materializes in the coming months.
For the moment, no official approach has been confirmed, but the name of Gessime Yassine is already starting to circulate on the England side. New proof that the young Moroccan nugget continues to reach the stages at high speed.
