The Gambia U-17 striker Alagie Baba Leigh is currently in England for trials with Premier League side Brentford FC.

The 16-year-old is plying his trade with the Senegalese side Étoile Lusitana U-17 before travelling to England for trials with Brentford FC.

Leigh is one of the most exciting young talents to come out of Gambian football.

He will strive to convince Brentford FC during his trials to sign a professional contract with the Premier League club.

Leigh played for The Gambia U-17 team in the 2024 WAFU Zone A U-17 Cup of Nations hosted in Senegal, but were eliminated in the semi-final after losing to Sierra Leone 3-0 in their last four clash.

He also played for The Gambia U-17 team in the 2025 WAFU Zone A U-17 Cup of Nations held in Mali, but were eliminated in the group phase after finishing third-place in Group A with 4 points in three group matches.
