The Brief

  • Everton, Leeds, Aston Villa, Brentford, and Brighton have shown interest in Esteban Lepaul.
  • Lepaul has scored 20 goals in his debut campaign with Rennes.
  • France coach Zinedine Zidane has called Lepaul into the national team.

Everton is among several Premier League clubs closely monitoring Rennes forward Esteban Lepaul, according to TEAMtalk. The 26-year-old has drawn attention due to his rapid rise in French football.

Lepaul joined Rennes in 2025 after a successful spell with Angers, where he scored 10 goals. His performances earned him a move to Rennes, where he has since netted 20 goals in his debut campaign.

Lepaul has continued his strong form, scoring three goals in his first five matches of the season. His impressive display has led to a call-up to the France national team, with new manager Zinedine Zidane selecting him for the squad.

Rennes has tied Lepaul to a new long-term contract, indicating the club’s confidence in his future. Despite this, English clubs remain interested, with the January transfer window seen as a potential opportunity for a move.

The interest from multiple Premier League clubs suggests Lepaul is a key target. However, any transfer will depend on Rennes’ stance and the level of competition for his services in the coming months.
