Reports have it that the 21-year-old Bristol City striker has "caught the eyes" of Norwich boss Daniel Farke who is preparing his squad for the Premier League next season but fellow promoted sides Watford and Brighton are also admirers.
Gunjur-born player, Janneh featured just three times (54 first-team minutes) for Brighton this season and only featured sporadically for the Under-23s following an ankle injury.
He was recalled from loan at Newport County in January, where he found the net twice in 12 matches.
Bristol City boss Nigel Pearson is desperate to keep hold of the striker, who climbed out of non-league to show his qualities in the professional game.
A clever penalty-box striker with a sharp turn of pace enjoyed a successful loan at Torquay where he scored 16 goals in 28 appearances before a short-term move to Newport County this season was cut short by injury.
But Pearson (Brighton Manager) believes there is much more to come at Ashton Gate for Janneh and has already brought him into his first-team plans.
Saikou Janneh is yet to score for his parent club having made two Championship appearances this season.
Meanwhile, Hertha Berlin and Bayer Leverkusen have also shown interest as they look to scour the Championship for players with potential and a summer fight for his signature could be on.
