Everton & West Ham in battle for the ‘best African player… in the last ten years’

West Ham United and Everton are both interested in recruiting the services of Stade de Reims striker Adama Bojang, according to the Guardian journalist Ed Aarons. West Ham have brought Callum Wilson to the London Stadium club this summer, while Thierno Barry has moved to the Hill Dickinson Stadium to replace Dominic Calvert-Lewin. However, the Toffees and Hammers still want to bolster their attacking options, and the 21-year-old Gambian is on their radar.

Told that West Ham, Everton, Lille and Royal Antwerp are among several clubs interested in Stade de Reims striker Adama Bojang. Understand that the fee for 21-year-old Gambian who was on loan at Grasshopper Zurich last season is expected to be between €3 and €5m

Bojang was on loan at Grasshopper Zurich last season and is expected to cost around €5 million. A move to join either Everton or West Ham would appeal to him, and more Premier League suitors could emerge for his services given his huge potential. Renowned football agent Sascha Empacher, who discovered Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, believes the Gambian has the potential to shine in the English top-flight and become one of the best in the world.

“Adama is the best African player I’ve seen in the last ten years,” he told Sky Sports.

“He can become one of the greatest African strikers. In the same league as (Didier) Drogba, (Samuel) Eto’o, Salah, and (Victor) Osimhen.”
