Adama Bojang, Gambian starlet is attracting interest from host of European clubs with Tottenham Hotspur, Nottingham Forest in the race to acquire his services.

The sensational forward has had a good performance so far in the TotalEnergies U-20 African Cup of Nations for Gambia as they lead the chart of the most goals scored in the competition so far.

The 18-year-old has been starring for his country in the AFCON U20 Championship in Egypt and is tipped to be named player of the tournament.

Adama Bojang scored a hat-trick in an emphatic 5-0 win against South Sudan in the quarter finals on Friday and all eyes will be on him again as he lines up against Nigeria in the semi finals on Monday.

He becomes the first Gambian to score a hat-trick in a CAF tournament etching his name in his country’s record books and also earned the man of the match award.

” feel so excited to score a hat-trick; these are my first goals in this tournament,’ he said.”

“Coming to his tournament and showing my talent to Africa and the world, and having a hat-trick for my country as a youngster, is so amazing because we preparing strongly and scoring goals is very important.”

Nicknamed ‘the Gambian Hurricane’, the 6ft 3ins centre forward is quick, brave and direct and has been prolific with his club side Steve Biko FC in Gambia.

However, he has been candid about wanting to win the Golden Boot for his club and use his goals at AFCON U20 to put himself in the proverbial shop window for a move to one of Europe’s top leagues this summer.

Ahead of the game against Nigeria today, the young striker will be looking to continue his goal scoring streak to further justify the interest of the big clubs in him.
