According to a report from Lance, Leeds United and Newcastle United are keen on signing the 17-year-old from the Premier League. It remains to be seen whether they decide to follow up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done.

The opportunity to move to England will be exciting for the young attacker. It would be a huge step up for him, and he will look to establish himself as a first-team player for the club in future.

Meanwhile, Newcastle are looking to build a formidable team for the future, and it is no surprise that they want to sign elite young talents. They have the financial muscle to pay a premium for the player, and it will be interesting to see if they can win the race for his signature.
