Ivory Coast may have unearthed one of the revelations of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. At just 20 years old, Christ Inao Oulai has impressed with his technical ability, dribbling skills, and influence in midfield.
His performances have made him one of head coach Emerse Faé's biggest success stories and have further fueled excitement around the young Ivorian international.
His displays have not gone unnoticed in Europe. According to the Daily Mail, several English clubs are now closely monitoring his progress. Two Premier League sides have reportedly shown concrete interest: Nottingham Forest, where he could reunite with fellow Ivorian Ibrahim Sangaré, and Brighton, the former club of Simon Adingra.
Sunderland is also interested in the midfielder, while Chelsea is said to be keeping a close eye on the Trabzonspor player. Aware of the value of its young talent, the Turkish club is reportedly demanding at least €50 million to consider a transfer.
Currently valued at around €23 million, Christ Inao Oulai could see his market value rise even further.
