!9-year-old Adeleye is currently plying his trade in Holland with Sparta Rotterdam, but looks set for a move to the Premier League, with as many as five clubs interested in signing the defender.

Adeleye is believed to have been the subject of offers from the Cottagers, City and the Hammers, with it understood that there are two other Premiership clubs monitoring the young Nigerian. Everton and Blackburn Rovers were both heavily linked with Adeleye earlier this year.

Scouts from England have been making regular checks on Adeleye, who is excelling at the 2008 Bejing Olympics. Where he is preparing for Nigeria’s quarter-final against the Ivory Coast later this week.
