Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that a deal to sign 16-yaer-old Konde has been completed and he will make the short move to Manchester. Manchester United have been investing in young talents with potential in recent years, notably Ayden Heaven from Arsenal who has quickly become a first team player.

The 19-year-old defender joined from the Gunners in February last year and has already made 25 appearances for the senior side, with 22 of those coming in the Premier League. Ayden Heaven started the first game of the season against Hull City (Picture: REUTERS) The Dane’s progress was not quite as rapid as hoped as he did not play in the first team last season and has now joined Dutch side Willem II on loan for this campaign.

20-year-old Kone has joined Swiss side Lausanne-Sport on loan for the season, while Paraguay international Leon could be called up to first team action if injuries hit in the problem left-back area. The 19-year-old was linked with a loan move over the summer, but he remains at Old Trafford.
