Man United closing in on a deal for French starlet Enzo Kana-Biyik | OneFootball

Manchester United will reportedly pursue French starlet Enzo Kana-Biyik when the 18-year-old striker’s contract with Le Havre expires this summer.

Christoper Michel (fussball.news) reveals there is a “good” chance the Red Devils will make a move for the youngster who the football expert describes as a “great talent.”

Tweet: “Will #MUFC make a move for Enzo Kana-Biyik? According to my information, it looks good. Negotiations with Le Havre are not necessery, as he’s a free agent. Great talent.”

Currently in Le Havre’s B team, Kana-Biyik has been “attracting attention” after his strong performances in France’s youth league.

Standing 6’0 tall at only 18 years of age, the forward possesses the quintessential build for a modern striker – tall and powerful, while retaining excellent mobility.

Furthermore, Africa Soccer reveals Kana-Biyik is renowned for his “attacking flair and instinctive finishing” which has put him on the radar of many clubs in France and across the continent.

However, the report contends Kana-Biyik – whose brother, Jean-Armel Kana Biyik, is a former defender who represented Cameroon – is ” expected to make the switch” to Ligue 1 side Marseille.

“According to sources close to the negotiations, a deal between the two clubs is nearing completion, with Kana Biyik set to become the latest in a long line of young talents to emerge from the Normandy club’s renowned academy.

“Despite the window not officially opening yet, Marseille have moved quickly to secure the services of the highly rated teenager.”

But Michel is adamant the Reds retain a strong interest in Kana-Biyik and will be in the running for his signature when his contract with Le Havre expires.

The German expert is well-versed in youth football and was the first reporter to break the story of United’s interest in Mali midfielder Sekou Kone, who moved to Old Trafford last summer.

United will be hoping to repeat this trick with the latest highly-rated product from Le Havre’s esteemed academy by convincing Kana-Biyik to swap France for England this summer.
