Manchester United look set to land Amad Traore for £27 million from Atalanta, and the 18-year-old certainly looks like a talent.
United have been desperate for a right winger all summer and now it looks likely that they'll sign youngster Traore, although he may not arrive until January.
The teenager has only played 25 minutes of football in Serie A so far, scoring once in a 7-1 win, so fans don't know too much about him at all.
Fortunately there's a compilation video showing what Traore is about, with clips from youth team football for Atalanta.

The Ivorian winger did look set to join Parma on loan, with the Italian side actually announcing the deal on their social media, before United made their move.
United aren't specifically in a rush to sign the winger and it could be that attempts to get a work permit for the Senegalese player prove too difficult to finish by the end of the transfer window.
If that's the case then Traore would join in January

Work permit still pending, deal to be completed now or on next January. 🔴 #MUFC #DeadlineDay
Speaking recently about his teammate, Atalanta forward Papu Gomez heaped praise on the youngster, saying, "He's a future star, trust me. During our training sessions he plays like Messi! You can't stop him, he's unbelievable, our centre-backs have serious problems when Traoré is on the pitch ... he's fantastic!"
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wanted to add a right winger to his team this summer, with Jadon Sancho the number one target, but so far only Donny van de Beek has been signed.
Edinson Cavani and Alex Telles could yet happen on deadline day, whilst a move for Ousmane Dembele is still trying to be made.
