Chelsea step up interest in 'The Gambian Hurricane' Adama Bojang after he scored twice in their Under 20 World Cup opener... but the Blues face competition from Sporting Lisbon, Inter Milan and RB Salzburg

Chelsea are preparing to step up interest in Gambia striker Adama Bojang following his explosive start to the FIFA U20 World Cup in Argentina.

The 18-year old scored within 30 seconds of his country's opening Group stage game with Honduras yesterday then followed up with their crucial second goal in a 2-1 win.

The 6ft 3ins forward lived up to his nickname of 'the Gambian hurricane' with a whirlwind display full of energy that impressed watching club scouts.

Bojang was already on Chelsea's radar following his performances in the Afcon U20 Championships where he was named in the team of the tournament after scoring four goals.
