Malmo could lose Mujanic to England with Premier League West Ham United and Championship hopefuls Leeds United reportedly interested.
Leeds United and West Ham are going head-to-head to sign the Swedish starlet Amel Mujanic this summer, according to Aftonbladet.
A talented central midfielder who plays for Malmo in his homeland, the teenager is facing an uncertain future with the Allsvenskan outfit failing to tie him down to a professional contract.
It is claimed that clubs in England are keen to take advantage.
Leeds and West Ham have been credited with an interest so far in Mujanic, who has played for Sweden at U17 and U18 level and appeared set to break through into Malmo’s first-team.
The youngster is represented by the former Bolton Wanderers striker Ivan Klasnic and, speaking to Aftonbladet, he has confirmed there are clubs in England that have been following his client’s development.
“Amel thrives in Malmo and wants to fight for a place in the first team,” Klasnic said.
“But if he does not get a chance in Malmo, we have to find another solution.”
“There is interest from England and from other countries too. I have tried to contact the sports manager, Mr Andersson, but he does not answer either on the phone or on my SMS.
“It is very frustrating. I don’t know how they think about Amel.”
Leeds might have one key advantage in the pursuit of Mujanic given that an established Sweden international Pontus Jansson is plying his trade at Elland Road right now.
Mujanic will also know Pawel Cibicki from the striker’s time on loan at Malmo in 2018; the forward having joined the Allsvenskan side on loan from Leeds.
