Manchester United have reportedly completed a deal to sign highly-rated teenage striker Alejandro Garnacho from Atletico Madrid.
The 16-year-old came through the ranks with Atletico and had been playing with their Under-19s side last season.
Atletico's city rivals Real Madrid were also interested in his signature, while Borussia Dortmund were thought to be monitoring his progress too.
However, Marca reports that United have won the race for Garnacho, who is expected to arrive in England to officially complete the deal later this week.
The youngster, who will have to quarantine for 14 days following his arrival, is reportedly set to sign a five-year deal at Old Trafford.
Garnacho is the third Spanish teenager to join United this summer following the arrivals of 16-year-old Marc Jurado and 17-year-old Alvaro Fernandez from Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively.
Lyon chief confirms contact with Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette over transfer

Lyon sporting director Juninho Pernambucano has confirmed that he held talks with Alexandre Lacazette earlier this year over a loan move from Arsenal.
The France international, who swapped Lyon for Arsenal in a £42.5m deal three years ago, found himself out of favour in North London at the turn of the year.
Juninho hoped to bring Lacazette back to the Groupama Stadium on a short-term contract, but the 29-year-old stayed put at Arsenal and ended the 2019-20 campaign on a high by helping the Gunners to FA Cup success.
"In January I called Alexandre Lacazette to chat a bit with him," Juninho is quoted as saying by The Mirror.
"He was having problems at Arsenal and I said to myself: 'Why not do a loan for six months with us where you will enjoy yourself, play all the games and score the goals like you know how to? And then you go back to Arsenal or somewhere else'."
Lacazette is rumoured to be a target for Atletico Madrid this summer, possibly as part of a swap deal involving midfielder Thomas Partey.
