Burnley are interested in signing wonderkid Ernest Nuamah.
According to The Daily Mail, Burnley are among some top European clubs chasing after his signature, with Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain, Ajax and AC Milan also credited with an interest.
Nuamah is reportedly valued at £22 million, with his performances in the Danish top flight earning rave reviews.
Everton are also said to be interested, but may not be able to financially afford the deal.
Should Burnley sign Ernest Nuamah?
Nuamah is a 19-year-old left winger, who has already represented Ghana at senior level.
He already has four goals and one assist in Nordsjaelland’s opening four games of this campaign.
Nuamah is very quick, is left-footed and has a great turn of pace and mobility. He is also a dynamic player with a strong body type.
With some of the biggest clubs in the world also after his signature, it’s hard to see Burnley being able to persuade him to move to Turf Moor.
However, what Vincent Kompany’s side can offer compared to those is game time, with Burnley adopting a model under Kompany that involves buying young players and developing them.
Burnley have been looking at signing wingers all summer. They have reportedly been looking at bringing Back Nathan Tella in a permanent deal from Southampton, after he spent last season on loan, a season in which he scored 17 goals and got five assists in 39 league games.
They are also said to be looking at Johan Bakayoko from PSV Eindhoven, and Dodi Lukebakio from Hertha Berlin. However, every target Burnley have is seemingly wanted by a lot of other big clubs, so it is hard for them to persuade them to join.
With Burnley’s luck running out when it comes to signing a winger, they may start to get desperate if they cannot get one in the next week or so.
