Monaco’s Kassoum Ouattara attracting Premier League and Turkish interest | OneFootball

AS Monaco’s Kassoum Ouattara is attracting interest from the Premier League and Turkey, as per a report from Foot Mercato. 

Ouattara is unlikely to be Monaco’s first choice left-back next season. Caio Henrique could remain at the Principality club, despite being linked with an exit. The impending arrival of Filipe Luis could prove pivotal. Another Lusophone, Nazinho, is also set to arrive from partner club Cercle Brugge. 

It leaves Ouattara’s role at Monaco uncertain. Foot Mercato understands that the France youth international is – now more than ever – open to leaving the Ligue 1 side. Besiktas are in negotiations with Monaco. Their manager, Vincenzo Italiano, has already spoken with the left-back.

However, they aren’t the only Turkish side in the race. Fenerbahce are also in the race and have made an enquiry for the Monaco defender. Foot Mercato adds that there is also interest – and enquiries – from two clubs who finished inside the top 10 in the Premier League last season.
