🚨 Emergency Broadcast: Leny Yoro to Manchester United

One of SCOUTED's favourite centre-backs heads to Manchester.

At one point earlier this year, we thought Leny Yoro might be one of the defining transfer sagas of the summer.

Well, it looks like Manchester United have moved quickly to squash the competition. Yoro is your new favourite centre-back - unless you don’t like United, in which case he’s about to become quite annoying.

As ever, our Scouting Editor Llew Davies has been watching Yoro with an eagle eye for the best part of two years, tracking his meteoric rise towards this colossal sale at the age of just 18.

We’ve got the lowdown, the strengths, the style and the weaknesses of the Premier League’s new teenage star. Lock in.

Disclaimer: For Emergency SCOUTED Broadcasts, we are treating the word of David Ornstein as gospel. If he says something is likely, we believe him. That way we can get the key insights to you quicker, rather than sitting tight for the protracted process of medicals, contracts, media machinations, and official confirmations. If the deal falls through — at any time, for whatever reason — do not blame us. Cry elsewhere. Thank you. Read on.
