Tottenham and Leeds battle for 18-yer old Nigeria born wonderkid
The 18-year-old winger is unlikely to stay at Derby with his contract expiring at the end of next month
Tottenham, Leeds and Fulham are weighing up a summer move for Derby Nigeria born wonder-kid Malcolm Ebiowei.
The 18-year-old winger is unlikely to stay at Derby with his contract expiring at the end of next month.
He further enhanced his reputation at the weekend scoring the opener in his side's win at Blackpool.
German side, RB Leipzig and Crystal Palace have also been monitoring the teenager.
The former England Under-16 international was on Arsenal’s books early in his career.
He then had a spell north of the border at Glasgow Rangers before joining the Rams on a short-term deal last summer.
Ebiowei is among the plethora of youngsters used by Derby boss Wayne Rooney in the cash-strapped club’s desperate bid to maintain Championship status that resulted in failure.
Although his contract runs out, Ebiowei will still command a fee with Arsenal, Rangers and Derby all in line for a share of compensation payments.
The future for the Rams looks uncertain with Rooney being tipped as potentially the next manager of Burnley.
Other players could depart such as Lee Buchanan and Jason Knight who have both impressed.
The club is in administration but there is hope regarding a takeover bid being accepted from Chris Kirchner.
They face Cardiff in their last match of the season.
