The race for Bodo/Glimt teen Hakon Evjen is intensifying.

Manchester City and Manchester United are both chasing the teen, along with Anderlecht and Ajax.

City and Ajax have been in recent contact for Evjen.

However, HLN says Anderlecht have now jumped ahead in the race, with player-manager Vincent Kompany turning on the charm. Kompany is ready to beat former club City to the signing of Evjen.

Anderlecht chief Frank Arnesen was in Norway on the weekend to make a check on the youngster.
