Chelsea must act quickly on Hafiz Umar Ibrahim with Bodø/Glimt keen

Chelsea will have to act quickly if Hafiz Umar Ibrahim impresses in trials.

The Nigerian whiz is set to test with Chelsea after catching the eye of scouts.

Ibrahim plays for Ojodu City in Nigeria and drew very positive attention earlier this year at the Viareggio Cup in Italy.

In the youth tournament, he scored among others against Manchester City's U21 team and recorded a total of ten goals in six games.

The Mirror says Bodø/Glimt are very interested, but the ambitions are not pointing towards Norway at the moment.

If Chelsea signs a contract with the young striker, it could very well be for the purpose of a loan to Strasbourg, it has been suggested.
