That followed a prolific U20 African Cup of Nations campaign in March during which the forward was named in the team of the tournament after scoring four goals.
Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Wolves, Liverpool and Tottenham have all cast keen eyes over the 19-year-old, who plays for Gambian side Steve Biko FC.
