The English clubs Fulham, Brentford, and Sunderland have shown concrete interest in Christ Inao Oulaï, a 20-year-old midfielder from Cote d'Ivoire. It is reported that the three clubs have made inquiries with the player's entourage to assess if a transfer is feasible during this window. The teams appreciate Oulaï's physical qualities, intensity, and ability to push forward, considering them suitable for English football; in the 2025/2026 Süper Lig season, he recorded 2 goals and 4 assists in 25 appearances and has 10 caps for his country.
Valued at 23 million euros by Transfermarkt, the midfielder is under contract with Trabzonspor until June 2030, and the Turkish club is reluctant to sell one of its top prospects, which could potentially lead to increased competition to sign him. In January 2026, a reported €40 million offer from Chelsea was rejected, and Trabzonspor's asking price was reported to be between €45-50 million in early 2026.
