English giants Chelsea FC are reportedly leading the race to sign highly-rated Ghanaian teenage forward Robinho Yao Gavi, with Italian side SSC Napoli also showing strong interest in the Hakala FC prospect.
The young striker, who is currently part of Ghana’s Black Starlets squad preparing for the 2026 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, has attracted growing attention from several foreign clubs following a string of impressive performances in recent months.
Gavi’s sharp movement, intelligent positioning, and natural goal-scoring instincts have made him one of the standout attacking talents in the Black Starlets setup.
His consistent ability to find space inside the box and finish with composure has further boosted his reputation among European scouts, who are now closely tracking his development ahead of a potential transfer move.
With the 2026 U-17 AFCON approaching, the tournament is expected to serve as a major platform for Gavi to showcase his talent on the continental stage. A strong showing in Morocco could significantly intensify interest from top European clubs.
