Arouna Sangante, a defender for Le Havre, is apparently being pursued by Fulham, Manchester United, and Chelsea, two of the biggest teams in the Premier League.
Le Havre captain Arouna Sangante has reportedly caught the attention of Manchester United and Chelsea, as well as Premier League opponents Fulham. After assisting Le Havre in winning promotion the previous season, the 21-year-old centre back was selected to the Ligue 2 Team of the Year, and he has since maintained his excellent play in the top division of France.
Arouna Sangante’s Rise
In 15 appearances across all competitions in 2023–24, the Senegalese defender has averaged 1.8 tackles, 2.6 interceptions, and 3.1 clearances per game.
The current Le Havre captain, Sangante, only recently agreed to a new contract that will last until the summer of 2026. The 21-year-old, nevertheless, might be headed out of the team in January. The player is reportedly eager to advance in his career and the Ligue 1 team is willing to cash in on their captain should the proper offer present itself.

The Le Havre star is rumoured to be of interest to Fulham, who may have to let go of defender Tosin Adarabioyo in January to prevent him from moving on a free transfer. For Fulham, getting the big defender to sign a new contract would definitely be the best course of action.
With his contract set to expire at Craven Cottage, however, the player suddenly has the upper hand in the scenario. Chelsea and Manchester United have reportedly entered the competition to sign Sangante, and both teams will be watching him play this weekend against Lyon. This information is according to TEAMtalk.
Bringing Arouna Sangante to Old Trafford could ease some of the pressure on Erik ten Hag’s backline, considering that Manchester United has had their fair share of bad luck with defender injuries and the uncertain futures of Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, and Raphael Varane.
Axel Disasi, a France international, was signed by Chelsea in the summer. But after a difficult start to the season, Mauricio Pochettino’s team has been connected to multiple acquisitions during the January transfer window, notably defender Ousmane Diomande of Sporting CP. However, Sangante is a possible target as well, so a move for the young player could be imminent.
