Manchester United have agreed a £50million deal with Crystal Palace for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
The England Under-21 defender will become Oke Gunnar Solskjaer’s second signing as United boss after a breakthrough in talks.
United will pay £45m up front for Wan-Bissaka, plus £5m in add-ons, for the 21-year-old right-back.
Solskjaer was determined to land Wan-Bissaka and make him United’s first-choice right-back, as part of his overhaul of his squad.
Wan-Bissaka will become United’s second signing this summer, following the arrival of Daniel James from Swansea for £15m.
The south London youngster grew up as a United fan, with photos emerging of him donning the famous red kit as a child.
He has been in Italy for the European Under 21 Championships, but England's early elimination at the group stage means he will be able to seal his United move and then enjoy a short break before reporting for pre-season at his new club.
Wan-Bissaka experienced a tough tournament as he scored a last-gasp own goal in England's opening game defeat to France.
It led to him being left out for their final two games, a defeat against Romania and draw against Croatia, amid concerns from manager Aidy Boothroyd his head had been turned.
But he was a consistent performer for Palace in his breakthrough Premier League campaign and developed his reputation as a top class talent.
It was enough to convince United chiefs to act and after having two bids initially rejected as Palace demanded more of the fee up front, it is believed a deal has now finally been agreed.
