Inter Milan tussle for Ebrima Bojang

Monday, April 6, 2009
Italian giants Inter  Milan and English Premier League side Tottenham Spurs are understood to be battling it out for the signature of highly-rated Gambia Under 17 and Real de Banjul striker Ebrima Bojang.

The teenager has caught the eye of several scouts during the just concluded African Under-17 Championships in Algeria, where he helped The Gambia lift the coveted trophy. The 16-year-old striker was exceptionally impressive during the biannual championship, scoring four goals in five matches including the final in which the Baby Scorpions beat hosts Algeria 3-1 to earn The Gambia's second-ever youth nations cup.

Observer Sports understands that Bojang has already been offered a trial at the San Siro by the charismatic Inter Milan coach, Jose Mourinho, while he will also head to Tottenham later this month when visa issues have been resolved.
