"The 18-year-old centre-back - who is capable of playing at full-back or as a defensive midfielder too - has been capped for England at Under-19 level. On the club front, he's featured regularly for Fulham's Premier League 2 side this year and has been named on the bench in five Premier League matches."
"However, Amissah is out of contract in the summer and per the report, the expectation is he won't put pen to paper at Craven Cottage. That's sparked a mad scramble to secure his signature, with Man Utd among those looking to strike."
"The Telegraph stated Amissah's move this summer is 'expected to be the biggest Premier League move in the market of youth players breaking into senior football.' It's not straight forward for the Red Devils, however, with both Arsenal and Chelsea in the mix too."
Manchester United are pursuing Fulham's 18-year-old centre-back Sam Amissah as part of their youth recruitment strategy under INEOS. Amissah, who can play centre-back, full-back, or defensive midfielder, has represented England at Under-19 level and featured regularly for Fulham's Premier League 2 side. With his contract expiring in summer, Amissah is expected to leave Craven Cottage. Manchester United face significant competition from Arsenal and Chelsea, who hold a geographical advantage as London-based clubs. International interest from Ajax, Marseille, and Juventus further complicates the pursuit. Amissah's transfer is anticipated to be the biggest Premier League youth player move this summer.
