Arsenal are observing the development of Marseille's 18-year-old striker Robinio Vaz, with Bayern Munich and Napoli also monitoring the player under manager Roberto De Zerbi. Chelsea are considered the leading contenders to sign him. According to a report from AfricaFoot, Enzo Maresca's side has made preliminary contact with the player's representatives and is in talks with Marseille to finalize a deal in January that would see the France U20 international move to Stamford Bridge in 2026. To retain their player, Marseille intends to offer Vaz a new long-term contract to deter interest, despite his current deal running until 2028. The forward, who holds both French and Guinea-Bissau nationality, has scored four goals and provided two assists in 12 Ligue 1 appearances this season. He has one cap for the France U20 team. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €4.00m.
