The 20-year-old striker has emerged as an outstanding talent in African football over the past few seasons and his performances are believed to have attracted attention from Europe.

Newcastle, Sunderland and Liverpool have all been linked with a move for Hissein and his agent, Jonathan Hope, is now awaiting an official offer.

Hope says that his client would relish the opportunity to play in the Premier League and insists securing the necessary permit would not be a problem.

"Whilst out in business in the Congo I have found a player who has caught the attention of Newcastle, Sunderland and Liverpool," Hope said.

"Hassan has already had 186 appearances for the first team and scored a whopping 105 goals.

"I met with the player and after agreeing a representation contract I will be putting the lad to Europe whilst I await an official offer.

"The 20-year-old international is a very special talent and we would have no need to obtain a work permit as he has an EU passport.

"He is a full international and he would love the chance to play in England."
