Sunderland, Fulham and Brentford ‘to battle’ for £20m Christ Inao Oulaï | OneFootball

According to 225 Foot, Sunderland, Fulham and Brentford are competing to sign Trabzonspor midfielder Christ Inao Oulaï this summer, with a price tag around £20m. The trio have watched him closely and contacted his agent, and other clubs are also monitoring the 20-year-old.

Oulaï joined Trabzonspor from SC Bastia in August 2025 and has impressed in his debut season in Türkiye.

He has played 2,401 minutes across 31 matches, scoring twice and supplying four assists.

His club form earned an Ivory Coast debut last November, then a place in Emerse Faé’s World Cup squad. He came off the bench in the 1-0 win over Ecuador, before completing the full match in defeat to Germany.

Any summer move is expected to be expensive. The midfielder is under contract until 2030 and Trabzonspor are said to want around £20m, a stance strengthened by growing Premier League interest.
