Honest Ahanor is attracting interest from major English Premier League clubs

A mere few months after his €17 million summer move from Genoa, Nigerian defender Honest Ahanor is rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about young talents in Italian football. The 17-year-old has seamlessly adapted to the demands of top-flight football, already featuring in 7 Serie A matches and 3 Champions League fixtures for Atalanta in the 2025/26 campaign.

His meteoric rise and undeniable potential, which have quickly established him among Italy's most promising prospects, have not gone unnoticed across Europe. According to Sport Witness, the Premier League has taken note, with both Nottingham Forest and Brighton making their interest in the teenage prodigy known.

Securing his signature, however, will be a costly endeavor. Atalanta, aware of the asset they have, are prepared to play hardball. The Bergamo-based club is expected to demand a formidable fee of around €40 million to even consider a sale. This firm stance comes after the club successfully fended off interest from Chelsea last June, ultimately winning the race for the Aversa-born starlet.
