Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly set their sights on Loum Tchaouna who is slowly but surely finding his feet at Lazio.
The Background
The 21-year-old rose to prominence last season at Salernitana. He was one of the few bright lights in an otherwise disastrous campaign in Salerno which culminated in a relegation to Serie B. Nevertheless, the Frenchman was always going to get another crack at top-flight football, so he ended up sealing a move to Lazio for €10 million.
Magical Night in Amsterdam
While he hasn’t yet carved himself a starting spot in Marco Baroni’s lineup, the youngster is getting significant playing time, especially in the Europa League. On Thursday, he showcased his massive talent by scoring a goal and providing Pedro with an astonishing back-heel assist in the 3-1 victory over Ajax, which has apparently earned him some admirers.
PSG Following Loum Tchaouna
According to Spanish website Fichajes.net, PSG are willing to splash €30 million for Tchaouna. This would be a massive windfall for Lazio who would earn triple for their investment shortly following his arrival. This would be a return to France for the Chad native who began his career at Stade Rennais.
Premature Bet?
However, the source notes it could be a risky move on the French champions’ part. Although the winger has displayed flashes of brilliance, he has yet to truly flourish in the Italian capital. This season, he has thus far scored two goals and provided an assist in 17 appearances across all competitions.
