Copenhagen are reportedly ready to cash in on youngster Roony Bardghji, who has been linked with a transfer to the Premier League.
A number of Premier League clubs have reportedly been handed a boost in the race for Copenhagen winger Roony Bardghji.
Despite having only just turned 18 years of age, Bardghji is regarded as one of the top prospects in world football.
The teenager has already made 71 appearances for the Danish giants, chipping in with 15 goals and one assist during that period.
While he has 10 strikes to his name in all competitions during 2023-24, the Sweden Under-21 international scored a crucial goal as Copenhagen recorded a 4-3 victory over Manchester United in the Champions League in November.
That effort ultimately proved pivotal as Copenhagen went on to book a place in the last 16 of the competition and United finished bottom of the group.

Possessing a contract until December 2025, Bardghji and Copenhagen could theoretically benefit from him remaining at the club in the short term.
Copenhagen know that they have a last-16 showdown with Manchester City to look forward to after Christmas as they bid to cause the upset of this season’s competition.
However, according to 90min, club officials are interested in cashing in on arguably their most prized asset at the midway point of the campaign.
The report suggests that Copenhagen are eager to capitalise on his growing stardom to ensure that they receive the biggest fee possible.

Chelsea are allegedly prepared to negotiate a deal with their Copenhagen counterparts and allow him to remain at his current club for the remainder of 2023-24.
Nevertheless, it is suggested that Manchester United, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion are among the other Premier League teams who are monitoring the situation.
Furthermore, the likes of Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus are seemingly leading the charge from continental Europe.
Bardghji may be motivated to remain at Copenhagen in order to help them retain the league title, as the current deficit to leaders FC Midtjylland is just three points.
