Manchester United are on the brink of signing an incredibly talented wonderkid with the deal looking likely to go through today after the completion of a medical assessment.
Three young signings have been made over the last few weeks in the form of Chido Obi-Martin, Samuel Lusale and Sekou Kone.
Unfortunately for United, the confirmation of Obi-Martin and Lusale sit with the Premier League to sign it off due to the pair transferring between academies, which can take a number of weeks. However, with Kone, The Red Devils have just been awaiting the ability to book his medical assessment for him to fly from Mali to Manchester to complete the deal.

Last week it was reported that one day this week would be the day of Kone’s medical and ultimate signing to join United, with reports from L’Equipe last night claiming that day was today.
Now, journalist for Sport1 Christopher Michel has confirmed the defensive midfielder is in face at Carrington now undergoing his medical.
The deal that will be finalised today for Kone is valued at €1.5 million with a series of bonuses based on his professional appearances.
United’s signing of Kone came as a slight surprise with longstanding links between the18-year-old’s Malian club Guidars FC and RedBull Salzburg who were front runners to sign the youngster.
However, it’s understood that United’s new transfer and recruitment specialist Christopher Vivell played a bog part in getting the deal across the line.
Unfortunately we are still waiting for the confirmation of Obi-Martin and Lusale being able to move to United despite medicals already taken place.
