The Harambee Stars prospect has strongly been linked with moves to Wolves and Sunderland after his move to Brighton hit a snag.
Brondby sporting director Benjamin Schmedes has poured cold water on speculation linking teenage talent Clement Mutahi Bischoff with a summer move, amid mounting Premier League interest led by Sunderland and Wolves.
Bischoff, a Danish-Kenyan left-sided prospect, has just 12 months left on his current contract and is valued at around £5.1 million.
According to The Sunderland Echo, Sunderland are said to be "leading the race" to sign the 19-year-old, while Wolverhampton Wanderers have also identified him as a potential replacement for Rayan Aït-Nouri, who sealed a £31 million switch to Manchester City.

Despite the growing noise around the youngster, Schmedes made it clear that Brøndby remain intent on keeping Bischoff — at least for now.
“We know how talented they are, and I don't think they're finished with their personal development,” Schmedes told TV 2 Sport referring to both Bischoff and fellow U21 standout Noah Nartey.
“Both can take more steps here in Brøndby, and I still hope they feel that.”
“Clement has one year left on his contract, and that puts us in a situation where we've had strong discussions for a long time. But nothing is official yet, so there's no agreement. We're in dialogue, and we'll see where it ends.”

In June, Pulse Sports reported a story initially sourced by Molineaux News that Wolves had added Bischoff to their shortlist of left wing-back targets as the club prepares for a major squad reshuffle under new boss Vítor Pereira.
With Algerian international Rayan Aït-Nouri joining Manchester City for an initial £31 million, the club are accelerating efforts to fill the void — and sources suggest Bischoff is under serious consideration.
, Bischoff is viewed as a long-term project with significant upside, thanks to his blend of pace, athleticism, and tactical maturity — traits that have made him one of the most exciting young defenders in Denmark.

Championship side Sunderland, meanwhile, appear to be pushing hardest for the defender’s signature. Danish journalist Toke Theilade, editor of Brøndby-focused VilfortPark, reports that the Black Cats are now front-runners, having tracked Bischoff for several months.
Bischoff came close to joining Brighton & Hove Albion earlier this year, but the move fell through late in the process — a moment that hit the youngster hard.
“It was such a strange feeling. It was as if something was taken away from me just as I was about to achieve something,” Bischoff told Ekstra Bladet. “It’s a good club and it’s the Premier League, so of course it’s a boyhood dream. I was disappointed. I’ll be honest with you.”
“The first day, I thought about it an awful lot, and it was tough… but I’m not the kind of player who needs time off. I just want to get back on the pitch and keep moving forward.”
That resilience has helped him regain form and interest, with Premier League and Championship clubs now circling once again.
Whether Bischoff’s next chapter will unfold in Denmark or in England remains to be seen, but with contract negotiations still unresolved and transfer interest rising, the future of the Brøndby defender — and Kenya’s rising international prospect — is one of the key sagas to watch this summer.
