Aston Villa and Celtic interested in highly-rated Ghana star who has been compared to Didier Drogba… with the forward available for around £1.2m

Aston Villa and Celtic are following highly-rated young Ghana striker Aziz Musibau.

The 17-year-old has been starring for Dreams FC in their domestic league and during the African Confederations Cup where they lost in the semi finals to Egyptian side Zamalek.

Such is the teenager’s promise that he has already been compared to former Chelsea striker and Ivory Coast international Didier Drogba owing to his barnstorming running style and powerful shot.

Ghana are also earmarking the U20 international as a player who can spearhead their seniors’ qualifying campaign for the next World Cup.

Dreams FC have a reputation for producing talented youngsters and a number of European sides have been following Musibau’s progress along with his team-mate Emmanuel Agyei, a 19-year-old defensive midfielder.

Inter Milan are also tracking Musibau while other Premier League sides are understood to have posted interest too.

Mail Sport understands Dreams would want around £1.2million for Musibau while Agyei would command a fee of around £750,000.

Agyei has been watched by Inter Milan scouts too but is also drawing attention from Tottenham.

Both players were key figures in the talented Ghana U20 squad which won the African Games in March. Another team-mate, Aziz Issah, is a target for Sevilla.
