Man United deal to sign Sekou Kone ‘100% agreed and done’, medical next week

Sekou Kone is set to have a Man United medical next week, after a deal to join the Red Devils is totally done.

Manchester United have always trawled the globe to find the hottest prospects in the world. It’s in the Red Devils’ DNA.

Erik ten Hag has continued that mantra, bringing in players like Chido Obi-Martin, who has an incredibly high ceiling.

United are pressing ahead with other signings similar to Obi-Martin, with Sekou Kone next on the list.

Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on that front this morning, claiming that the deal to sign Kone is now ‘100% agreed and done’. The documents will be signed after the midfielder undergoes a medical next week.

Kone joins in a deal worth £1m, with several add-ons and bonuses available to Malian side FC Guidars.

The midfielder is said to be a ‘smart investment’ due to his high talent levels, with United fans understandably excited about seeing him in action.

Check out Fabrizio Romano’s X post on the news here:

This is a signing for the future, with the 18-year-old Kone going to need some time to adjust and adapt to life in Manchester.

As fans, we have to remain patient and allow the Mali international to develop and grow at his own pace, though it’s hard not to get excited about a young defensive midfielder, as it’s a real position of need for the Reds.

Let’s hope Kone can impress for the U21 side this coming season, and maybe we will be given a glimpse of him on tour next summer.
