A number of Premier League clubs are reportedly monitoring the progress of Atalanta star Charles De Ketelaere ahead of a possible move in the summer transfer window.
According to reports from CaughtOffside via TeamTalk, Arsenal, Manchester City, West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United have all been scouting the versatile Belgian international in recent months. Softfootball added that De Ketelaere’s impressive displays in Serie A have attracted growing interest from several top-flight English clubs.
The Atalanta attacker, who is capable of playing as a No. 10, centre-forward or left winger, has developed into one of the most sought-after attacking players in Italy and is expected to be at the centre of transfer speculation ahead of the 2025 summer window.
Arsenal are believed to be among the clubs showing the strongest interest, with manager Mikel Arteta said to be a long-time admirer of the Belgian. Sporting director Edu is reportedly exploring the possibility of positioning the Gunners ahead of their Premier League rivals in the race for his signature.
Although Arsenal are yet to submit a formal approach to Atalanta, internal discussions are ongoing regarding a potential move as the North London club looks to strengthen its creative options in midfield and attack.
The report also claims that De Ketelaere has emerged as an alternative transfer target to Georgiy Sudakov of Shakhtar Donetsk, another player admired by Arteta as Arsenal continue planning for future reinforcements.
with multiple Premier League clubs keeping close tabs on De Ketelaere’s performances, Atalanta could face a major battle to retain one of their key attacking stars if interest intensifies ahead of next summer’s transfer window.
