Transfer Market: Arsenal-Tottenham Derby for a Fennec at €71M

Algerian midfielder Ibrahim Maza from Bayer Leverkusen, valued at €71 million, is the subject of a serious pursuit by English clubs. Arsenal is ready to accelerate efforts to sign him, with Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Aston Villa also closely monitoring his situation, making him one of the most sought-after players in the Premier League for 2027. The 20-year-old started the 2026-27 season strongly with a goal and an assist in Bundesliga and performed well in Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers with Algeria. The high valuation reflects his potential and increasing competition for his signature.
