Manchester United are set to seal the deal for Athletic Bilbao star Aymeric Laporte, according to Mirror reports.
The
reports have revealed that the Red Devils manager Louis van Gaal is on the
verge of landing the highly rated 20-year-old wonder talent who is also being
eyed by the duo London outfits Arsenal and Chelsea.
Laporte
has been one of the top talents currently in the Spanish League. He has been a regular
since breaking into the first team in 2013. He has made 16 La Liga appearances
so far this season. The Frenchman has also made five vital Champions League appearances.
The
reports further claimed that the deal between Manchester United and Athletic
Bilbao are almost done and the player will be moving to England for a medical soon.
His
impressive displays have alerted many of the top European clubs, however, Louis
van Gaal is finally set to beat the other interested parties including German
side Bayern Munich with his €32million bid.
It
would be a great addition for United as they are struggling this season with
their defensive line. The first half of the season was kind of injury prone
half as their majority of defenders were out.
