Chelsea and Crystal Palace are the latest clubs to register an interest in cutting a deal to sign 18-year-old Gambia striker Adama Bojang. 

The teenager shone for Gambia in the recent U20’s edition of the Afcontournament in Egypt, registering four goals as the ‘Young Scorpions’ made their way to the final in March.

Bojang is also expected to star again at the U20 World Cup tournament at the end of this domestic season. 

The 18-year-old centre-forward plays his club football for Steve Biko FC in Gambia and is currently valued at around £650,000. 

Chelsea and Palace are just two of the most recent clubs in the Premier League to show signs of interest in ‘the Gambian Hurricane’ as a handful of others have also been closely monitoring his development.

The Premier League clubs interested in landing Bojang are believed to be considering making an initial investment on the striker and then sending him immediately out on loan. 

 His physical attributes and style of play have drawn comparisons to Napoli and Nigeria centre-forward Victor Osimhen, with some believing he could go on to better Osimhen’s achievements in the game. 

He is so similar to the Napoli man in style that the Partenopei are also in the mix along with Chelsea, Palace and the rest of the Premier League clubs. 

Marseille, Ajax and Royal Antwerp are among the teams on the contintent who remain interest in investing in the Gambian talent.
