Man United And Newcastle Join Chelsea And Liverpool In Race For Gambian Star

Gambian wonderkid Adama Bojang has drawn interest from elite Premier League teams like Man United and Newcastle, and it looks like a four-way fight is emerging for his signing.

Bojang, often known as The Gambian Hurricane, has drawn attention from several European teams, including Serie A winners Napoli, and a summer transfer seems certain.

The 19-year-old has scored frequently for the Gambian outfit Steve Biko FC.

However, it has been his national team performances that have drawn interest from possible suitors.

A hat-trick against South Sudan a semi-final goal against Nigeria at the Afcon U20 Championships in April was followed up by further impressive displays in the U20 World Cup in Argentina.

Manchester United are now interested in pursuing a deal for Bojang but face stiff competition from Chelsea, Liverpool, and Newcastle, according to the Guardian.

Bojang is reportedly available for a cut-price fee of just £2.6million, however there is concern over his favoured next destination.

Interest from Bundesliga sides has apparently been met with positivity from Bojang’s camp who are attempting to decide the youngster’s next career move.

It is reported that an offer has been made by a unnamed club in the German top-flight, while there is also interest from RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt.

There are also further obstacles for English clubs to overcome with Premier League needing to loan Bojang out at first before he could qualify for a work permit.

Foreign sides would have an advantage on that front and could mean a move to Europe is a more favourable option for all parties involved.
