Arsenal has already tested Bayer Leverkusen’s resolve over Jarell Quansah, but Chelsea’s interest complicates the defender’s future even further.

The 23-year-old has established himself as a key player in Germany since leaving Liverpool, attracting attention from several major European clubs.

• Arsenal proposed a €65 million bid for the England international during the summer transfer window, which Leverkusen rejected.
• Despite the setback, Mikel Arteta’s side continues to monitor the centre-back for another potential opportunity.
• Quansah's significant development in the Bundesliga makes him an appealing option for clubs aiming to bolster their defence.

Now, Chelsea has entered the fray, with reports indicating they have initiated contact regarding a possible move. It remains unclear whether they approached the player’s representatives, Leverkusen, or both.

Liverpool and Real Madrid are also closely watching the situation, adding to the competition for Quansah’s signature.

Quansah joined Leverkusen from Liverpool last summer for €35 million and enjoyed substantial playing time, featuring 44 times last season and accumulating over 3,700 minutes on the pitch. His performances earned him international recognition with England.

Liverpool retains a buyback option that could come into play next summer, while Real Madrid is reportedly monitoring his development closely. Leverkusen has the defender under contract until 2030, placing them in a strong negotiating position. However, with interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Madrid, Quansah’s future could become one of the most intriguing transfer stories leading up to 2027.
