The talented youngster is said to be following in the footsteps of Manchester City's Erling Haaland and has caught the eye of Manchester United.
Manchester United have set their sights on a promising young striker who has been dubbed the 'next Erling Haaland' - Austrian-Nigerian wonderkid Oghenetejiri Adejenughure.
The 17-year-old sensation has been turning heads with his prolific goalscoring exploits for RB Leipzig's U18 side, where he has already bagged an impressive 16 goals in just 20 matches this season.

Manchester United join race for Oghenetejiri
Adejenughure's performances have not gone unnoticed, according to a FourFourTwo report suggesting that Manchester United are among a host of European giants monitoring the talented teenager's progress.
The youngster, born in February 2007, has drawn comparisons to Manchester City's Norwegian goal machine Haaland due to his predatory instincts and clinical finishing ability.
)
Adejenughure's stock continues to rise, with the striker also impressing on the international stage, scoring four goals in as many matches for Austria at the recent Under-17 European Championships.
Manchester United are said to be keeping a close eye on the dual-national prodigy as they look to bolster their attacking options for the future. However, they face stiff competition from Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan, who are also tracking Adejenughure's development.
)
The Red Devils have a rich history of nurturing young talent, and the acquisition of a player touted as the 'next Erling Haaland' would undoubtedly be a major coup for the club's youth recruitment strategy.
As Adejenughure continues to set the youth ranks ablaze with his goalscoring exploits, the race for his signature is expected to intensify, with the highly-rated striker potentially being the subject of a bidding war among Europe's elite clubs.
)
Manchester United will be hoping that their pedigree and reputation for developing youngsters will give them an edge in the pursuit of this Austrian-Nigerian gem, who could well be the next big thing in the world of football.
