English clubs monitoring Atalanta starlet Honest Ahanor | OneFootball

Atalanta defender Honest Ahanor is attracting significant attention from clubs in England, with the young player’s impressive form for the Bergamo side putting him squarely in the sights of major European teams, according to a report in Gazzetta dello Sport.

The report highlights that the 18-year-old left-footed defender, originally purchased from Genoa for €20 million, is quickly justifying the substantial investment. Despite having only briefly featured in Serie A before his move, Ahanor is currently performing at “excellent levels” for Atalanta, starting regularly.

This success means that “the big English clubs have put him in their sights,” making him a highly sought-after prospect. The young defender’s rising reputation has rapidly inflated his market value, which has now reportedly jumped to a minimum of €40 million. Ahanor is described as a “success story” within a group of valuable Atalanta players who are drawing interest from both Italian and European giants.
