    Under contract until 2026 with Le Havre, Étienne Youté could soon leave the dean club. The 23-year-old central defender arouses covetous from several European teams. Arrived in Normandy in January 2023, the slender player won his place as a starter from November of the same year. After a successful first year in Ligue 1, the former Inter Milan and Olympiakos is coming out of a more difficult season on a personal level, which has not curbed the ardor of several courtiers.



    The Belgians of Anderlecht, the Turks of Besiktas and the Scots of Celtic Glasgow are looking markedly at this defender to be polished. Two German clubs and two Championship teams including Burnley, an information revealed by Fabrizio Romano that we are able to confirm, are also interested.


    Another big British club would be in the ranks. Last summer, Youté had refused at the last moment to join Hoffenheim, which then offered 7 million euros to secure its services. If he extended his contract last September with the dean's club, this time he could leave for a global offer of around 5 million euros. An amount that would satisfy the finances of the HAC.

    Quite a decent source to be fair.

  6. He looks ridiculously good man and perfect for us..

    Comfortable on either foot
    Comfortable on either side of defence
    Composed
    Strong
    Reads the game well and intercepts and goes to ground when needed
    Mobile
    Imposing and aggressive

    Don't know how credible the link is but he looks as suited to us as possible for that reported fee of 4 and a mill..

    Watched the video and he instantly looks more suited to us than De Haas. Fast, can play either side, comfy on the ball.

    Looks quite slender so would be interested to see what hes like in terms of duals.

    But this is a big yes for me. Hopefully something in it.

    Looks good but not convinced theres much in it
     
  10. Aye. I was watching De Haas last night and wanting to like it and almost looking for the positives, despite being a bit meh when looking at him..

    This one here was almost instantly like yep, he'll 100% do. One of the better centre half reels I've watched. Was very impressed..

    Just imagining him in a back 4 of KT, Carter-Vickers and AJ and can easily see it. Looks like him and Carter-Vickers would compliment each other's styles..

    His contract runs out next year. Been linked with a few players in that situation.

    Obviously no changed the filter on the FM search.

    Definitely prefer him to to De Haas purely based on the clips posted. He looks the part and doesn't seem panicky or rash..a wee bit like Ajer I thought.

    I was happy enough with De Haas but would be delighted with this boy.

    We're far more attractive outfit than Anderlecht currently and I think, despite the money they can offer, we'd be more attractive than Besiktas too, hopefully something in this, it's a good source.

    He is slower than De Haas on fifa though :fear:

    Looks class! Good on the ball and good getting passes out from the back under pressure.

    This guy looks just the part for us.

    Big 6'5', aggressive and gets around the park well, black and French. Ticks all the boxes for me too.
    Valued at £5M. We paid £6M for Trusty.

    Would it be wrong to say he would be an upgrade on De Haas already ?. :giggle2:

    A lot of competition to get him, we need to move now if we do want him in.

    I think we will.

    But there are no guarantees in football.
