Samuel Lusale officially joins Manchester United after leaving Crystal Palace

Slovakian winger Samuel Lusale has officially joined Manchester United after leaving Crystal Palace, according to the Secret Scout.

The Secret Scout – a reputable source for youth football and transfer news – has claimed that Man United beat competition from clubs in England, Italy and Germany to sign the 16-year-old.

Completing a deal for former Arsenal youth striker Chido Obi-Martin is next on the agenda.

Manchester United agreed a deal to sign Lusale in July after he rejected a scholarship offer from Palace, and they have now completed the deal after agreeing compensation with the Eagles.

The Slovakia under-17 winger is regarded as one of the most exciting attacking players at under-16 level, and signing him is huge for Man United.

They have signed several teenagers this summer including Silva Mexes Tyler-Earnshaw, James Overy and Kone. Lusale has now been snapped up and will join the Man United academy.

Due to his exciting style of play, he is a constant threat to the opposition’s defence, and Man United will hope he breaks into the first team and becomes a Premier League star.

The Slovakian plays on both wings, and his greatest strengths are his pace and direct running with the ball.

The Red Devils have recently been concentrating on signing some of the best teenagers in the world, and more youth players are expected to join the club.

They strengthened their first team by splashing £206 million on Manuel Ugarte, Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui in the summer.

They equally bolstered their youth ranks and will continue to do so in subsequent transfer windows.
