“West Ham on the Verge of SHOCK Signing: The ‘New Emmanuel Adebayor’ Set to Ignite the Premier League!”
West Ham Enter Talks to Sign Reims Star Adama Bojang but Face Competition from Brentford – The Sun Reports
The 21-year-old first rose to prominence in his native Gambia with standout performances for Steve Biko FC.
He further enhanced his reputation at the 2023 U20 African Cup of Nations, drawing attention from major European clubs such as Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea. Ultimately, he secured a move to French Ligue 1 side Reims.
Now, the promising forward is once again attracting interest from the Premier League. According to The Sun, West Ham United are currently in negotiations to sign Adama Bojang but are facing strong competition from fellow London side Brentford.
Brentford are said to have initiated talks in anticipation of Bryan Mbeumo’s expected departure to Manchester United.
They are reportedly confident of completing a deal for Bojang, believed to be valued around £5 million.
However, West Ham are not backing down. The report indicates that the Hammers are also in direct discussions with Bojang’s representatives as they look to beat Brentford to his signature.
Standing at 6ft 1in, Bojang is viewed by the East London club as a valuable long-term investment.
Dubbed the “next Emmanuel Adebayor”, Bojang is admired by Graham Potter’s side, particularly amid ongoing uncertainty regarding the futures of Michail Antonio and Niclas Fullkrug.
During his recent loan spell at Swiss giants Grasshoppers, Bojang impressed by scoring six goals, including a hat-trick against FC Luzern and a brace versus FC Lausanne-Sport.
While his finishing ability was already evident at the U20 AFCON, he has since developed into a more complete forward.
His game now includes tireless off-the-ball movement, strong ball-carrying, creativity, and physicality — attributes that allow him to thrive in duels and add value beyond goals.
With these qualities, Bojang is emerging as a well-rounded attacking threat, with genuine potential to break out in the Premier League.
As Brentford intensify their efforts to sign him, West Ham must move quickly if they want to land the highly-rated Gambia international, who has been hailed as one of Africa’s brightest young talents.
