Ouedraogo’s rise mirrors Leipzig’s resurgence this season, after a difficult summer and a shaky start under Ole Werner, including a heavy 6–0 loss to Bayern, the Saxony club have rediscovered stability, and the teenager has been central to that revival.
As per the report, Leipzig’s coaching staff privately regard him as one of the club’s biggest long-term assets, especially after his response to early-season injuries and the departure rumours that surrounded him last year.
Even with his growing reputation, Ouedraogo reiterated that he is focused strictly on maintaining form and consistency. “I try to play my game and things are certainly going well at the moment, but I’m having some luck and will take that too,” he told DAZN after the Bremen match.
Leipzig’s midfield structure, aided by Christoph Baumgartner’s resurgence and Werner’s tactical adjustments, has given Ouedraogo room to flourish. With Champions League qualification a realistic target, the club want to keep him at least one more season, but interest from England is now impossible to ignore.
