Brøndby sporting director has sought to ease speculation surrounding Clement Mutahi Bischoff, the promising Danish-Kenyan defender who has attracted interest from English clubs Sunderland and Wolverhampton Wanderers. The 19-year-old, who has one year remaining on his contract, is valued at approximately £5.1 million (Ksh 1.2 billion) and is seen as one of the most exciting young defenders in Danish football.
Reports in England have suggested that Sunderland are leading the race for the talented left-sided player, while Wolves have also earmarked him as a possible replacement for Rayan Aït-Nouri, who recently joined Manchester City in a high-profile move. Despite the mounting interest, Brøndby remain keen to retain Bischoff’s services, at least for the immediate future.
The club’s sporting director emphasized that both Bischoff and fellow U21 standout Noah Nartey still have significant room for development and that Brøndby remains the right environment for their growth. He confirmed that the club is in ongoing discussions with Bischoff regarding his future, but stressed that no deal has been finalized with any club.
Bischoff’s stock has continued to rise due to his explosive pace, athletic frame, and tactical intelligence attributes that have made him a standout performer in Denmark’s Superliga. He is being monitored closely by scouts from both the Premier League and the Championship, with Wolves reportedly accelerating their search for a left wing-back to fill the gap left by Aït-Nouri’s departure.
While Wolves are seen as a club preparing for long-term success under new management, Sunderland have also emerged as serious contenders. The Championship outfit is believed to have tracked Bischoff extensively in recent months and could offer him a quicker route to regular first-team football.
Earlier this year, Bischoff was on the verge of a dream move to Brighton & Hove Albion, but the transfer fell through in the final stages. The experience left him disappointed, but he has since bounced back strongly, showing resilience and determination to keep improving his game.
He has made it clear that he remains focused on his football and is determined to stay grounded despite the growing attention. With his contract situation unresolved and several clubs circling, his future remains uncertain, but the coming weeks are likely to determine where the next chapter of his career unfolds whether that’s staying in Denmark or heading to England. Either way, Bischoff remains a key figure in the future of Kenyan football.
