Nigerian starlet Ibrahim Said is in the middle of a three-way battle for his signature with Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool interested. The 17-year-old lit up the U-17 World Cup with three goals and an assist in four games for Nigeria, playing a key role in them reaching the round of 16.

The 17-year-old is currently with Dabo Babes academy in Nigeria but has been travelling across Europe after being nominated for a goal of the tournament award. That saw him make an appearance at the Ballon d’Or awards and TEAMtalk has reported that Said might make the move across to England. The Nigerian attacker has three Premier League sides in Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City all interested in a move as they believe he’s the real deal.

Furthermore, it has also been reported that the Cityzens lead the race as they believe that they can convince the 17-year-old and his agent, that his best interests lie with them. However, neighbours Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea are also very keen on a move and they will also look to convince the starlet that his best path to stardom lies with them.

However, TEAMtalk has reported that Ibrahim Said’s best chance of a move from Dabo Babes is to Portugal with Porto and Sporting Lisbon in the race as well. With a star-studded youth academy and a proven way into the first team, both the Liga Nos giants have their hat well placed inside the ring.
