Leicester City and Belgian side Westerlo have submitted offers for Bourg-en-Bresse’s 18-year-old striker Abdoul Karim Traoré, one of the standout young performers in the Championnat National this season, according to **[Foot Mercato.](https://www.footmercato.net/a3922931382809555644-bourg-en-bresse-leicester-et-westerlo-ont-fait-une-offre-pour-abdoul-karim-traore)**
Traoré, born in 2007 in Kankan, Guinea, scored three goals this campaign for Bourg-en-Bresse, who finished 5th in the French third tier. Despite a modest goal tally, the teenager’s physical presence, technical profile, and potential have reportedly attracted serious interest from abroad.
Leicester — recently relegated to the Championship — are said to have tabled a bid for the forward, as have Westerlo, who finished 9th in the Belgian Pro League’s regular season. Both clubs are keen to act early in a summer window expected to draw multiple suitors.
Traoré is under contract with Bourg-en-Bresse until June 2026, and his stock has risen sharply after a breakout season at senior level.
