"Kinteh has done quite well for Tromso and has attracted Chelsea's attention as well. The 19-year-old is not just a quality defender; his recovery pace has been extremely impressive. The defender clocked a top speed of over 37 km/h this season, which makes some as fast as the Tottenham star Micky van de Ven. Kinteh is capable of operating centrally as well as a fullback."
"The opportunity to join a premier league will be exciting for the youngster. It would be a step up in his career, and he would get to test himself at the highest level. Meanwhile, the defender could be available for a fee of 6 million. Manchester United and Chelsea certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done, and it remains to be seen where the 19-year-old ends up."
"He should look to join a club where there is a prominent role for him. He needs ample first-team exposure in order to improve further and fulfil his potential. Sitting on the bench at a big club would be detrimental to his development. Therefore, he should choose his next destination very carefully. At the reported asking price, he could be a major bargain for either club."
Manchester United and Chelsea have shown interest in 19-year-old Gambian defender Sedi Kinteh, who has performed well for Tromsø. He combines central and fullback capabilities, offering positional versatility. His recovery pace and top speed — over 37 km/h this season — match elite defensive sprinters. He could be available for a fee of 6 million, making him affordable for top clubs. A move to the Premier League would represent a step up and a test at the highest level. He requires regular first-team minutes to develop, so club choice and playing opportunities should guide his next transfer.
