FC Copenhagen's Roony Bardghji has been linked with a move to Newcastle United. Man Utd are also reportedly interested in the teenager who scored against them earlier this season.

The 18-year-old is thought of as one of the most exciting young talents in European football, with the teenager scoring 10 goals in 23 games for the Danish Superliga outfit this season.

Bardghji is also a reported target for Manchester United and Chelsea and scored the winning goal in a dramatic 4-3 Champions League triumph over Erik ten Hag's men earlier this month.

Now, his agent, Christian Emile, has spoken about the transfer interest revolving around the Swedish under-21 international, without saying whether or not the Seagulls are in the race to sign the youngster.

He said, via transfer expert Fabrizio Romano: "[Bardghji is] one of the most exciting talents in the world and also the future of Swedish football since Zlatan, it's natural that he is being monitored by major clubs".

When asked about a possible move away from Copenhagen, Emile added: "It's too early to say now... but one thing is for sure – you'll get used to seeing Roony perform on the biggest stage."

The Kuwait-born player, who is reportedly valued at around £30 million by Copenhagen, has already 66 times for the Danish outfit, scoring 15 goals along the way.
