Manchester United are reportedly close to signing Crystal Palace wonderkid Samuel Lusale. Lusale is the latest highly-rated prospect to impress United after the teen played in Slovakia's three group games at the U17 European Championship in May. The youngster was also in Palace's FA Youth Cup squad last season. He joined the Eagles when he was 13 and then was picked up by Jay-Z's agency who also represent the likes of Gabriel Martinelli, Kevin De Bruyne and Lucas Paqueta. Roc Nation's website has described Lusale as: "A quick, dynamic winger who is regarded as one of the most exciting attacking players in the UK at under-16 level. Comfortable playing off the right or left wing, his electrifying pace and direct running with the ball makes him a constant threat to the opposition defence. He is often the source of goals and assists for his team."
