Hammarby slam ₦3billion price tag on Nigerian star

The former Under-17 star was outstanding last season, and he has been attracting a lot of interest from several clubs in Europe

Swedish Allsvenskan side Hammarby have slammed a ₦3billion price tag on Nigerian youngster Akinkunmi Amoo.

The 19-year-old is making waves in the Allsvenskan. Last season he was a critical part of Hammarby’s setup, helping the former Swedish champions to a fifth-place finish.

The right-winger scored nine goals and assisted five in 29 appearances for the Bajen. Amoo narrowly missed out on the best young Allsvenskan player last season, finishing second behind Veljko Birmancevic, who was part of the Malmo team that won the Allsvenskan.

Earlier on, Soccernet reported that the diminutive winger was linked to Rangers. However, the Gers are not the only ones interested, as Copenhagen also submitted a bid for the 19-year-old star.

According to Fotbol transfer, Hammarby rejected the bid from the Danish side, holding out for a ₦3billion fee.

The Bajen have the luxury of holding out for a big fee, though, as Amoo still has two years left on his contract.
