Adrian Akande is reportedly interesting West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Celtic and Rangers.
A different club is prepared to make an offer for the recent West Ham United trialist, Adrian Akande, who has also been linked with moves to Tottenham Hotspur, Celtic and Rangers, according to AllNigeriaSoccer.
The website claimed last month that West Ham had already made an approach for the player, for whom Tottenham had ‘opened a line of communication’ and Celtic and Rangers were ‘fighting’.
But it added that Akande – who it now states has opted to leave Chelsea at the end of his contract next year – had also been invited for a tour of the facilities of, and to train with, Hoffenheim. And the German side are said to have been impressed by the Nigeria Under-17 international.
A move across London to either West Ham or Tottenham could still appeal to Akande, who began his youth career at Crystal Palace and will decide his future within the next three months, according to AllNigeriaSoccer. But Celtic or Rangers could arguably offer a quicker route to first-team football, alongside Hoffenheim.
Celtic and Rangers have each recruited heavily from English academies throughout the past 10 months – landing Jeremie Frimpong and Jonathan Afolabi, and Nathan Young-Coombes and Kane Ritchie-Hosler, respectively.
Hoffenheim, West Ham, Tottenham, Celtic or Rangers – what would be the best move for Akande?
