Paris Saint-Germain starlet Isaac Karamoko could be heading to the Championship with FootMercato claiming that Hull City and Reading are both sniffing around.
The dominant force of French football might have been cruised to yet another Ligue 1 title this season but, behind the scenes, things are not progressing quite so smoothly.
The so-called ‘new Zidane’ Adil Aouchiche is on the verge of swapping PSG for the prospect of regular first-team football at St Etienne and Tanguy Kouassi, a 17-year-old centre-back labelled a ‘great’ talent by Thomas Tuchel, could follow in his footsteps.
L’Equipe then reported at the weekend that left-back Thierno Balde could join a Leeds or a Southampton with PSG struggling to tie him down to a new, long-term deal.
And Balde could be joined in Yorkshire by Karamoko, if Hull win the race for a striker who is due to become a free agent in July.
A skilful and technically gifted Frenchman with an impressive record at youth level, Karamoko could prove to be a real coup of a signing for The Tigers or Reading – especially if he replicates the impact of another ex-PSG forward who swapped the Parc des Princes for the Championship.
Moussa Dembele hit 15 goals for Fulham in 2015/16 – and then moved to Lyon in a £20 million deal just two years later.
