Paper round-up: Chelsea and Palace linked with youngster Bojang

Chelsea and Crystal Palace are interested in 18-year-old forward Adama Bojang, according to the Daily Mail.

He impressed at the Under-20s version of the African Cup of Nations, leading to speculation that he could be snapped up by a European club.

Bojang plays for Steve Biko FC in his native Gambia and could apparently be available for £650,000.


Meanwhile, West Ham continue to be among clubs said to be interested in highly-rated Bristol City midfielder Alex Scott.

Scott has impressed for the Robins in the Championship and has been linked with a move to the top flight for some time.

The Mail say Liverpool have joined West Ham and Wolves in the hunt to sign him this summer.

The Evening Standard say West Ham have set their sights on signing Conor Gallagher from Chelsea or Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips if Declan Rice leaves this summer.

The Mail also say Brighton are interested in signing Reiss Nelson, whose contract at Arsenal expires at the end of the season, and that the Seagulls are hoping to agree a new contract with young striker Evan Ferguson, who is apparently wanted by Tottenham.

Arsenal are open to selling Folarin Balogun this summer as the forward wants regular first-team football, according to The Times.

And The Sun have picked up on reports linking Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech with a potential summer move to Tottenham.
