Newly promoted Premier League side Burnley have officially joined the race for highly-rated Gambian winger Abdoulie Manneh, who continues to light up the Swedish Allsvenskan with Mjällby.

Burnley scouts were in attendance to watch the 20-year-old in action during Mjällby’s thrilling 3-1 comeback victory over Djurgården, where Manneh provided a crucial assist.

The in-form winger has now tallied an impressive 8 goal contributions in just 9 league matches, including 5 goals, 3 assists, and a memorable hat-trick sparking interest from several English clubs, with Brighton and Bournemouth also reportedly monitoring his progress.

With his pace, flair, and eye for goal, Manneh is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after young talents in Scandinavia.
