Sporting and Barcelona in race for Carlos Queiroz's protégé | OneFootball

Sporting Sporting is keeping a close eye on the progress of Eric Adu Gyamfi, a 16-year-old Ghanaian forward who has attracted the interest of several European clubs. The information was reported by South African outlet SportsBoom, which lists the Lions among the clubs closely monitoring the African prospect’s development.

In addition to Sporting, Barcelona and Celta de Vigo are also said to have identified the Kumasi Ebony player. Clubs from the Netherlands and Belgium are likewise among those interested in a footballer who continues to stand out in Ghana’s youth national teams, a country where Carlos Queiroz leads the senior side.

At the moment, Eric Adu Gyamfi is in the spotlight thanks to his participation in the Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations. Playing for the Black Stars, the attacker featured in all four matches played by the Ghanaian national team and finished the tournament with two goals.

One of those goals came in the opening group-stage match, which ended in a 2-2 draw. The performance even earned him the man of the match award, further increasing the attention of the scouts present at the tournament.

Ghana’s run came to an end on May 23 in the playoff for a place in the quarter-finals. Although Gyamfi opened the scoring after just nine minutes, his team was ultimately eliminated by Uganda in a penalty shootout.

According to the reports, passing quality, finishing efficiency and the ability to operate in tight spaces are some of the traits most appreciated in the young forward. For now, there have been no formal contacts regarding a move to European football, but the interest from several clubs suggests that the coming months could be decisive for the future of the young Ghanaian prospect.
