Manchester City’s hunt for Angers’ 18‑year‑old keeper Chabot

Manchester City are monitoring 18‑year‑old French goalkeeper Max‑Edgar Chabot of Angers’ for a possible summer transfer, according to the club’s scouting network. He has featured in nine Under‑19 matches, conceding six goals and keeping four clean sheets as they assess his potential.

The Mancunian side highlighted his rapid rise, noting nine Under‑19 appearances in which he conceded six goals and kept four clean sheets across multiple competitions. Le Parisien confirmed the English club’s interest, reporting that City are keeping tabs on the Angers youngster.

Chabot progressed through Angers’ youth system and has become a key member of their Under‑19 side, establishing himself as a reliable presence between the sticks. Standing 1.91 m tall, he combines safe hands, quick reflexes and good distribution, often stepping into the opposition half with his foot.

While his rawness means he will need time to adapt to Premier League demands, City see him as a potential number‑two behind Gianluigi Donnarumma. The club believes his attributes could provide depth and competition in the goalkeeping department.

If his development continues, Edgar could enhance the quality of the backline at the Etihad Stadium and become a long‑term success story for Manchester City. For the 18‑year‑old, a move would offer exposure to top‑level training and a pathway to Premier League experience.
