In an interview with CNN, Tchouameni admitted that he likes to watch La Liga and the Premier League. He admitted interest in moving to one of the countries this summer and was quoted by Mundo Deportivo saying:
"I like the Spanish games and the English ones. It's different playing in Spain or England. But in the end for me it's just a question of adaptation. I am an ambitious person. Every time I do something I just want to win. If I want to be great, I have to adapt in order to gain some things that allow me to grow as a player."
Continuing to talk about the rumors, he added:
"It's funny. With my friends Benoit Badishile and Djibril Sidibe, every morning they say -'Ah, you're going to this club.' And the next day, it's another club. But it's good to be in this situation. It means I'm in a good position. I have worked a lot in order to achieve this, so that the best clubs want me. In the end, it's just social media… The most important thing is to do well in the next training session and in the next game. We'll see."
