Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham are in a fierce race to sign Rennes wonderkid Desire Doue. The 19-year-old winger impressed last season with four goals and five assists in 31 Ligue 1 appearances. SunSport reports that United, Chelsea, and Spurs are locked in a bidding war for the versatile winger.

However, they face stiff competition from Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. Doue is a “top priority” for both Chelsea and Tottenham, with talks already held with the player’s camp and Rennes. Negotiations are ongoing, and both London clubs aim to finalize the deal by next week. Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is particularly keen on Doue and wants him as his first signing of the window.

United are also closely monitoring the situation. Doue, who has been with Rennes since 2011, made the second team in 2021 and joined the senior squad a year later. The France Under-21 international can play in various midfield and forward positions, making him a valuable asset for any team.
