Sedi Kinteh was then given a contract with the Norwegian club until 2029 but his performances and potential has already drawn interest from big Premier League sides.

According to various reports, Chelsea and United are both keen on signing the 19-year-old who has already made his debut for the Gambia national team.

A left-footed central defender with plenty of pace, the Blues are said to be particularly keen on the player especially after losing out to Liverpool in the race for Jérémy Jacquet.

Sedi Kinteh played 22 times for Tromsø in his first season at the club, scoring once.
