Gambian international Abdoulie Manneh could be set for a high-profile move to England, as AFC Bournemouth have reportedly re-entered the race to sign the 22-year-old from Swedish champions Mjällby AIF.
The young winger, who played a crucial role in Mjällby’s historic Allsvenskan title-winning campaign, has been a standout performer throughout the season—netting 7 goals and providing 3 assists in 27 appearances. His performances have not gone unnoticed, drawing attention from several English clubs.
According to sources close to the negotiations, Championship leaders Coventry City were in advanced talks with Mjällby over what could become a record transfer fee for the Swedish club. However, Bournemouth—long-time admirers of the Gambian talent—have now revived their interest and are reportedly preparing an improved offer.
The Premier League side is said to be exploring multiple options, including whether to sign him outright or send him on loan, depending on how discussions progress.

While the transfer is yet to be finalized, the coming weeks could be decisive as both English clubs continue to push for Manneh’s signature.
Manneh’s potential move would mark another significant milestone for Gambian football, as the country continues to produce exciting young talents making their mark across Europe.
If the deal materialises, the 22-year-old could soon be showcasing his pace, creativity, and goal-scoring instincts on English soil—whether in the Premier League with Bournemouth or in the Championship with Coventry City.
