Blues Reportedly Watch Cameroon Defender
Wednesday, 22nd Apr 2026 11:35

Town have watched Osasuna central defender Flavien Enzo Boyomo, according to a report in Spain.

Diario de Noticias de Navarra reports that the Blues had a scout at yesterday’s 1-0 away defeat to Athletic Bilbao with Cameroon international Boyomo the player they are eyeing ahead of a return to the Premier League.

A number of other Premier League sides were also represented with winger Victor Muñoz believed to be their main interest.

French-born Boyomo was with hometown side Toulouse before joining Blackburn’s academy in 2016.

After four years with Rovers, he left having been unable to agree a contract and joined Albacete, where he spent three years, then Valladolid before moving to his current club in August 2024, signing a five-year deal.

Osasuna are said to want to keep the six-foot tall centre-half but he is reported to have a €25 million (£21.7 million) release clause.

A number of other English clubs are also believed to have been tracking the 24-year-old.

StowTractor added 15:39 - Apr 22 Nice to see TWTD is confident of promotion despite all our nerves then "A number of OTHER PREMIER LEAGUE sides were also represented" ivan yes we do need strikers but like Sunderland this season, if we do go up, we will need to strengthen the squad in every position & overseas players seems to be the sensible way to get PL quality players at a reasonable price.

Skip73 added 17:01 - Apr 22 Some posters on here are idiots. They think because we need a striker we can't look at another position.

Steelmonkey added 17:12 - Apr 22 So does this mean we are not looking to sign Kipre on a permanent deal? Is that why after being Mr Dependable and a nailed on starter for nearly all season he hasn’t been starting the last few games. When he has been brought on he doesn’t look half the player he has been, has he been told he’s not going to feature in the future set up.

Edmundo added 17:45 - Apr 22 If a better player is available in ANY position at the right price, we'd be stupid not to.

Edmundo, that's almost certainly the most sensible bit of advice the club can get. Let's say the track record so far has been a bit mixed. Hopefully new members of the recruitment staff will/have got everything sorted this time. We should simply be looking any and everywhere, no excuses not to in this day and age. Mght be an idea to contact Sunderland for a bit of advice!
