Ex-Man Utd, Man City Target Dubbed The New Emile Heskey On The Radar Of Premier League Teams

Norway international of Nigerian descent Ohi Omoijuanfo is attracting interest from foreign clubs in the summer transfer window, allnigeriasoccer.com understands.

Statistically, Omoijuanfo is the best striker in Norway at the moment, having netted nine goals from thirteen appearances in the Tippeligaen, and this has not gone unnoticed by clubs in the Premier League.

A representative of an unnamed Premier League club was among the 3,644 spectators at the Nadderud Stadion on May 22 when Stabæk faced off against Viking, and his mission in Bærum was to observe at close quarters the Stabæk number 99.

The Premier League has always been Omoijuanfo's preferred destination as he trained with Manchester City at the age of 16, and had attracted interest from Manchester United in the past.

The 23-year-old, who has been hailed as the New Emile Heskey, has been scouted by representatives of Dutch, German and Belgian clubs in 2017.

Ohi recently made his debut for Norway's senior team against Sweden, but remains eligible to play for the Super Eagles since it was a friendly.
