Southampton have expressed interest in acquiring Metz's forward Idrissa Gueye during the summer transfer window. The 18-year-old, who is highly regarded across Europe, has also attracted attention from clubs such as Brentford, Manchester United, Burnley, and Borussia Dortmund. These teams are all competing to secure the promising Senegalese forward. Valued at £15 million, Gueye's potential and promising future have drawn significant interest. Although Brentford were initially hopeful of signing him, the competition has grown more intense with Manchester United's recent involvement. It is anticipated that Gueye's decision will be influenced by the prospect of regular playing time, which could play a crucial role in his choice of a new club. His current contract with FC Metz is due to expire on June 30, 2029.
