Update emerges on future of West Brom talent Jamal Jimoh amid Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham transfer links
West Brom are reportedly bracing themselves to receive transfer bids for Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur target Jamal Jimoh.
According to TEAMtalk [9 June], Chelsea and Manchester City are also keeping tabs on the teenager with the Baggies aware of the growing interest in his services.
Spurs’ scouts have even made regular checks with the 16-year-old over the past year as he’s shone for the under-16s and under-18s.
Set to leave?
It certainly must be a hard task for the Baggies to keep a hold of players wanted by the top sides in the Premier League.
Jimoh has been on the radar of top-flight clubs for a few months and he too will be aware of all the interest shown in him.
The fact that Spurs have scouted him so frequently certainly means that they’re very keen on getting a deal over the line.
At 16, he’s not expected to break into the first team but it will be a coup for them if they can sign him ahead of their Premier League rivals.
Chelsea and Manchester City are known to have stellar academies which are arguably among the best in Europe.
United, have the pull of being a giant historically and they appear to be heading on the right track as well.
It will be a major surprise if he does stay on beyond this summer as he surely would want to explore his options at a top-flight club.
