Arsenal 'beat' Manchester United to £3million Lens teenager Yassin Fortune
The 16-year-old will cost around £3million according to reports
Arsenal have beaten Manchester United in the race to sign French teenager Yassin Fortune, according to reports.
The 16-year-old Lens forward has been tracked by both clubs in recent months with scouts apparently watching him for his club and for France Under-16s in matches against Switzerland and England.
Arsenal have agreed a deal worth up to £3million, according to the Daily Mail, which was considered to much by Manchester United.
Fortune can play across the front three and will apparently sign a three-year deal that will include two years as a scholar and a year on professional terms.
Memphis Depay completed a medical at Manchester United's Carrington training ground on Monday night after his £25m move from PSV.
