Arsenal are said to be leading Liverpool, West Ham United and others in the race for the Millwall kid.
Arsenal, Liverpool and West Ham United are among the clubs being credited with interest in the Millwall teenager, Chris Ijeme.
All Nigeria Soccer reports that Arsenal are leading the race for Ojeme – who has been likened in style to Jadon Sancho – with Liverpool, West Ham, Manchester United and Manchester City also keen.
Although the winger does not turn 16 until 2021, it is claimed that he is expected to play for Millwall’s Under-18 side before the end of this season.
Like Sancho, Ojeme hails from south of the river Thames, where he is said to have been spotted playing grassroots football two-and-a-half-years ago.
Sancho started out in Watford’s youth ranks before being poached by Manchester City in 2015.
But it was not until his transfer to Borussia Dortmund two years later that the teenager was finally allowed to flourish, and he has since earned 10 England caps.
Arsenal and Liverpool have already missed out on another Millwall winger of Nigerian descent, with Samuel Edozie joining Manchester City instead.
And the Lions are likely to prefer a move to any of those for Ojeme, over their rivals West Ham.
Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham or neither – what would be Ojeme’s best option?
