The Lincoln City winger is said to have been watched by Wolverhampton Wanderers and Huddersfield Town.
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Huddersfield Town are ‘exploring ways to sign’ the Lincoln City youth team striker Jordan Adebayo-Smith ahead of the January transfer window, according to All Nigeria Soccer.
The website claims Lincoln are already considering an offer from an unnamed Premier League club for Adebayo-Smith, whom it adds was linked with a move to Watford before his August arrival at Sincil Bank.
But Wolves and Huddersfield may yet put up a fight, with scouts from both clubs having watched – and been pleased with – the 17-year-old score a hat-trick in an FA Youth Cup tie against South Shields earlier this month, according to All Nigeria Soccer.
The website describes Adebayo-Smith, who has featured on the bench for Lincoln’s first team this season but is still awaiting his senior debut, as a “lightning quick and very skillful striker with an eye for goal”.
Huddersfield recently restructured their academy system, downgrading to Category 4 in the Elite Player Performance Plan – which is four below Wolves and could have a bearing on any decision made by Adebayo-Smith.
