Manchester United have secured the signing of Facundo Pellistri on deadline day.
The Red Devils signed the right winger from Penarol in Uruguay after a scramble to find a player for that position.
Pellistri is only 18 and very raw, but United fans will be hoping he is the real deal.
He comes with a recommendation from former United and Uruguay star Diego Forlan, who gave Pellistri his debut when he was manager of Penarol.
"Pellistri has huge potential," Forlan said in April, per the Manchester Evening News.
"There is still a lot to work on. He is growing and he makes the difference. We know it will be difficult to keep him for a long time. He has great pace and that is hard to handle."
Another who has praised the attacker is Argentina legend Juan Roman Riquelme.
"He is young, talented, he hasn't played that much but you can see he is a real rascal with the ball at his feet," Riquelme said last December.
"And that is important. There is not many like him around, who have the courage to be so cheeky on the pitch. That is highly valuable."
