Reportedly the fee will be around £60,000,000. Chelsea were on course to acquire his services last summer, but fell through late on.

NEW: NUFC STANCE ON YANKUBA MINTEH

Newcastle are said to be reluctant considering cashing in on exciting winger Yankuba Minteh, according to the Telegraph. The Magpies have had high hopes for the teenager, who impressed on loan at Feyenoord last season, but there's growing interest in the forward and bids of £40m could tempt United to let him move on. Such a sale would help Newcastle in the battle to ensure they comply with the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules and ease any pressure on cashing in on star assets Alexander Isak and Bruno Guimaraes. Liverpool are one of the clubs to have been linked with Minteh, with new boss Arne Slot having managed the winger at Feyenoord last season.

Surely, it's 'Hands Off' on this one.
