Cape Town City boss Eric Tinkler believes they have sprung a massive coup with the signing of Gambian wonderkid Kajally Drammeh.
City unveiled the 18-year-old attacker after beating Danish upstarts Midtjylland, Serie A club Torino and Vincent Kompany’s Anderlecht to the U20 international’s signature.
The coach says: “He's someone we've been chasing since the beginning of the season, that we only managed now to conclude the deal.
“We've obviously been watching him every single week, playing in the Gambian Premier League and in the national setup.
“Very creative and highly intelligent footballer. He already shows a level of maturity that he's more than capable of playing at the highest level.
“There was a lot of interest from Europe. I think we managed to snap up a very talented player.”
Drammeh joins new boys Mogamat May, Darwin Gonzalez and Brice Ambina at the club with City hoping to get their paperwork done before Saturday’s Nedbank Cup last-32 trip to Royal AM.
