Youth transfers and rumours thread.

“Leicester are now in League One and United are working on a deal for midfielder Page as part of a new signing strategy.

Sources say United have also held dialogue about a possible move for another talent who is younger than Page.”

Luckhurst saying this. No idea who this can be, but pretty sure we don’t have any space in the scholars thing.

Louis Page. 18yr old CM. He will be joining the Under-21s if he comes, not the Under-18 scholars.

The line is clearly talking about the other player of Leicester that we are supposedly interested in who’s younger than Page.

Could it be the 3rd player mentioned? I have no idea who he is.
 
Could be one of the players that deregistered from Leicester at the end of their U14 season. One is apparently going to City but there are another two who it could possibly be.

But if they're deregistered from Leicester, then why would be in talks for them with Leicester?

Am no expert, but we still need to agree compensation, isn't it?
 
Vincent joseph heading to arsenal as per athletic, after all those claims of united agreeing move for him.
 
Worth noting Arsenal have been heavily linked with Mylo Bernard from Palace, who is also a striker. Unclear if they'll still sign him with Joseph coming in, so he could be someone we look at potentially.

I wrote this earlier in another thread that these players would be likely to leave.

"If I'm guessing: Ashton Missin, Ethan Williams, Ethan Ennis, Victor Musa, Finley McAllister, Jack Moorhouse, Louis Jackson, Habeeb Ogunneye, Dermot Mee."

So far, all of them are still here.

Two of them have left in Williams and Ennis. I don't think Dermot Mee will leave. Rest of them will.
 
Bit of a random thing, and it's sad that none of them made it in our first team, but our youth recruitment of 2020(from abroad) has to be one of our best ever.

Garnacho sold for 40m.
Kambwala sold for 5m. Plus addons of 5m.
Carreras sold for 6m. Plus money we got for sell on 7.5m
Vitek sold for 7m. Plus addons of 7m.

That's 65.5m.the money we have already got, plus 12m in addons. That's excellent profit.

The Garnacho signing does some heavy lifting in that combo. And we got done on Carreras. But yes, our youth recruitment in 2021 we signed Carreras, Garnacho and Jurado was good.

Wasn't that just before the rule change when English clubs could buy foreign talent that were younger than 18?
 
Genuinely don't know what to make of that.

Reckon both are available, not sure why Arsenal would sign unless short of players at u21 level
 
Good move for the lads but a very weird one this.
 
Neither probably going to be good enough for a top club, lets get 3-4 mil each and call it a day :D

It is almost certainly agent shenanigans. No one in their right mind at Arsenal would ever be interested in either of them.

This reporter is Arsenal’s journalist for Telegraph so unlikely its agent talk.

Their u21 team got battered by Barnet 5-1 yesterday and it was a very young team so maybe reinforcing their u21 team. Interestingly their u21 head coach is David Horseman who left us two or three weeks after he was appointed.

Would love to see Scanlon turn things around be it here or at Arsenal. Technically gifted but physically lacking, if he can fix that then maybe he could make it at a decent level.
 
I hope it’s true, we’ve struggled with sales this summer so why not get some money for two players that are nowhere near the first team. Strange on Arsenal’s end but oh well
 
The Athletic also confirming this.
 
Habeeb Ogunneye is scheduled to undergo a medical today ahead of move to Arsenal. Announcement over the weekend. Free transfer with 40% sell-on clause. [
@tabuteauS


further talks continue over a fee for 19-year-old winger James Scanlon, who is keen on the move with personal terms unlikely to be an issue and a deal hoped to progress within 72 hours.

Guess Scanlon has a longer contract plus there's the fact Derby will expect a cut of the fee. Suspect it'll be a few million but not much higher. From what I'm hearing they'll play for the U21s but train with the first team which isn't the worst outcome - still a chance to impress Arteta.

Ogunneye going for free must mean we see a lot more promise in the likes of Kamason and Helafu.

I don't really understand these moves on the player side though - surely they would want senior football at this stage of their careers? Do they think this lateral move for a year would give them better prospects in January/next summer?

I think the promise of regular training with the first team might be a big draw.
 
So for all the talk all summer about how many we are going to sign, we have not signed anyone right now, right?
