By OnzeActu · · 2 min read
Mikkel Bro Hansen, 17, has scored 7 goals in 12 appearances with the Bodo/Glimt pro squad. Under contract until the end of next season, the Dane has attracted the attention of several European big names, including Manchester City, who have reportedly sent scouts to the U17s.
Manchester City is among the clubs interested in young Danish revelation Mikkel Bro Hansen, according to information relayed in Denmark. The striker born in 2009 was scrutinized during the European Under-17 Championship, where many clubs sent scouts.
The Bodo/Glimt prodigy has already made a place for himself in the professional squad: 12 appearances, seven goals and three assists in all competitions. Solid on his feet, technical and clinical in front of goal, Bro Hansen is presented as one of the most promising strikers in Europe at his age.

His contract with Bodo/Glimt runs until the end of next season, which could facilitate a lower-cost transfer for a club willing to bank on his potential. In addition to Manchester City, Tipsbladet mentions the interest of Newcastle United, Chelsea, Juventus and Ajax to afford the young Dane.
Bro Hansen's profile - placement, technical versatility and finishing - would correspond to the type of attacker that Enzo Maresca wishes to integrate, called upon to shape his Mancunian group for the 2026/27 season. A Danish U17 international on 16 occasions, the player could first strengthen the youth teams of a big club before considering integration into the first team.
Another notable element: Bodo/Glimt faced and beat Manchester City in the Champions League group stage in January, a meeting which perhaps helped to attract the attention of the Citizens to the Norwegian club and their talents. Finally, the appointment of Hugo Viana as sporting director, replacing Txiki Begiristain last April, is cited as a factor of dynamism for City on the transfer market.
