Premier League side Brentford and Championship outfit Queens Park Rangers are locked in a battle to sign highly-rated Nigerian teenager Adebosin Nurudeen Ademola, Footy-Africa can exclusively report.
The 18-year-old forward, who currently plays for the Right2win Football Academy in Nigeria, is widely regarded as one of the most sought-after young talents in West African football and has long been tipped for a high-profile move to Europe.
Footy-Africa gathered that Ademola, alongside his agent and representatives from Right2win, is scheduled to arrive in the UK on June 22nd to hold formal talks with both London clubs.
However, England is not the only destination on the table. The youngster’s camp is also set to fly to Denmark immediately afterward, with Danish heavyweights FC Copenhagen firmly in the running. French Ligue 1 side Nice are also monitoring the situation closely.
”The player has genuine, concrete offers from both England and Denmark,” a source close to Right2win Academy confirmed. “The academy will thoroughly study all available options to ensure they make the best decision for both the player’s development and the club’s future.”
With multiple European suitors circling, the next few weeks will be pivotal for the promising striker. For Brentford and QPR, securing a work permit under the post-Brexit FA criteria will likely be a key factor in negotiations, but landing a talent of Ademola’s pedigree would represent a significant coup for either side.
