Leicester City are among clubs watching Hammarby attacker Akinkunmi Amoo.

The young Nigerian is being scouted this season by the Foxes, Ajax, Borussia Dortmund and Valencia.

“I often hear that I have the same playing style as Messi, so I am sometimes called the little Messi," said Amoo.

“He is my role model."

Amoo has also spoken with AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is a co-owner in Hammarby.

“It was unbelievable. I was very impressed and happy. Ibrahimovic is an incredibly good footballer that I look up to, but above all a very nice person.

“Zlatan said I have to dare to play my game, stay focused all the time and not be afraid of anyone, because then I will develop."
