Manchester United and Chelsea considering Jonah Kusi-Asare move
HITC Football understand that Bayern Munich have already submitted a bid for the 6ft 5in wonderkid, who sources state is viewed as a remarkable talent within Europe.
Manchester United and Chelsea have both kept a close eye on Kusi-Asare’s progress amid his rise to prominence at Swedish outfit AIK Solna, and a strong impression has been made on the Premier League duo.
AIK Solna are believed to be ready to sell the 16-year-old striker with his stock currently high.
HITC Football also understand that Borussia Dortmund, Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Atletico Madrid have expressed an interest in Kusi-Asare along with Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
Therefore, the English giants will have to fend off some fierce competition to secure the teenager’s signature.
Kusi-Asare has already made four senior appearances for AIK Solna.
The Manchester United and Chelsea target has also made one appearance for Sweden’s Under-17 side, scoring a hat trick in a 3-2 win over Moldova’s Under-17s.
It comes after HITC Football also revealed that Chelsea hope to make a more senior addition to the striker department this month, with Feyenoord No.29 Santiago Gimenez one name on Todd Boehly’s radar.
