Manchester United and Newcastle are the latest Premier League clubs to show an interest in Adama Bojang but face a battle with several German teams to sign the Gambia Under-20 forward.

Bojang, who starred in his country’s recent run to the knockout stages at the Under-20 World Cup, is available for about €3m (£2.6m) from Steve Biko FC in the Gambia. The 19-year-old has also attracted interest from Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Tottenham and Wolves after his performances in Argentina.
