A scrum of Premiership teams, led by Arsenal and Manchester United, are vying for the signature of AaB keeper Kenneth Stenild Nielsen.
The 16-year-old has earned rave reviews throughout his fledgling career with the Danish side and he has had scouts from around Europe sitting up and taking note.
It would appear Arsenal and Manchester United have been the most persuasive, as Nielsen will visit both Highbury and Old Trafford in the near future for trials.
"I have never experienced anything like it," AaB director Lynge Jacobsen told BT. "There have been eight Premier League teams who would like Kenneth to visit them.
"Together with him and his parents, we have selected Manchester United and Arsenal. Mostly because we feel he will benefit from the experience and the atmosphere at these clubs."
Nielsen is contracted to AaB until the summer of 2006 and they are sure to demand a suitable compensation package for his services.
