Manchester United are close to completing a deal for Cardiff youngster Gabriele Biancheri, according to reports.
The 16-year-old, who is highly-rated in south Wales, has agreed to move to the Red Devils after impressing for Cardiff's under-21s this season. Biancheri completed a medical over the weekend and is set to join United, signing a scholar contract and then a long-term professional deal when he turns 17 in September.
A move for Biancheri does not need to be completed before Tuesday's deadline but United acted quickly to capture the services of a talented forward who has also been linked with a move to Chelsea. Wout Weghorst and Jack Butland are the Red Devils' only two senior additions in the January window so far.
