Serie A table-toppers Napoli will rival Tottenham for Gambia's 18-year-old rising star Adama Bojang as 'The Gambian Hurricane' alerted European clubs following a string of impressive performances

Italian league leaders Napoli are ready to rival Tottenham for highly rated teenage striker Adama Bojang.

The 18-year old has become the biggest rising star in his country Gambia after his goal scoring exploits at the recent Afcon U20 Championships where the 'Young Scorpions' finished the tournament as runners-up to Senegal.

Nicknamed 'The Gambian Hurricane', Bojang plays for Steve Biko FC and is a prolific scorer but it was his performances for his country while in Egypt last month, notably a hat-trick against South Sudan and the winner against favourites Nigeria in the semi final, that has alerted club scouts across Europe.
