18 year old Gambian striker Adama Bojang has reacted to Chelsea’s interest in signing him following his impressive performances in the AFCON U20s tournament.

Chelsea are leading the race to sign Bojang, known as the “Gambian Hurricane” by fans.

Standing 6ft 3in tall, the forward has power and speed in abundance.

And many are already comparing him to Napoli superstar Victor Osimhen, who is also on Chelsea’s radar this summer.

Bojang said: “I’ve heard about the news and I am excited about it.

“It boosts my morale. I’m focusing more on consistency which motivates me a lot, because seeing such clubs following you is a great feeling.

“Through consistency it will make them hungrier for me.

“I want to be like Cristiano Ronaldo, because he’s my favourite when it comes to the big name players.

“I’ve been watching his videos on YouTube after games. He posts his workout there so sometimes I try to watch those and motivate myself through that.”
