According to Fichajes, Chelsea are closely tracking 17-year-old French-Ivorian Rennes striker Mohamed Kader Meite, who has emerged as a player to watch during 2025. The club reportedly views him as a centre-forward for the future and a raw talent who can be shaped into the style desired by Enzo Maresca. While Meite has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €10 million, it is believed that Chelsea would likely have to pay a much higher price to sign him. His contract with the French club runs until June 30, 2028.
