Chelsea, Palace join Prem scramble for Gambian superkid Adama Bojang

Chelsea and Crystal Palace are emerging as two more contenders to sign 18-year-old Gambia striker Adama Bojang.

The teenager has risen to fame off the back of his displays for his nation in the U20's edition of the Afcon tournament in Egypt.

Bojang netted four goals and helped his nation's youth team to the final of the showpiece event in March.

Per The Mail, Tottenham and Nottingham Forest are also interested in signing him.

However, getting a work permit would be an issue for any English team at present.

Whoever signs Bojang may have to loan him out for one or two years before he can be eligible to obtain a work permit and play in the Premier League.
