Former Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe is in talks to return to the Premier League, according to Yahoo Sports. The 27-year-old has just completed a strong World Cup campaign with the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Tuanzebe came through United's academy and made 37 appearances for the first team before leaving in 2023. His World Cup performances have reportedly attracted interest from top-flight clubs eager to bolster their defense.
The timing is notable, as several Premier League sides are looking to strengthen in the January transfer window. Tuanzebe's experience at both club and international level makes him a valuable free-agent option.
No specific clubs have been named in the negotiations, and no timeline for a potential deal has been disclosed. The player's representatives are understood to be working on securing his next move.
"He's shown his quality on the international stage," a source close to the player told Yahoo Sports. "There's genuine interest and talks are progressing."
