Several Premier League clubs, including Brighton & Hove Albion, Chelsea, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Newcastle, and Brentford, have sent scouts to watch Rennes striker Mohamed Kader Meite in recent weeks. Meite holds both French and Ivorian nationality. Crystal Palace is reported to be the most proactive of the English sides and made an enquiry this month. The 18-year-old has also been the subject of a €40 million bid from the Saudi club Al-Hilal. According to sources, Meite is not convinced that moving there is the right step for his career and believes a summer transfer is a more realistic scenario. Meïté's contract with the French club is due to expire in June 2028. This season in Ligue 1, he has scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in 16 appearances. He has also earned 3 caps for the France U21 team. His current valuation on Transfermarkt is €10 million.
