Manchester United could face a battle with Premier League rivals Everton over the signing of Atawu Issahaku.
As The Peoples Person reported earlier in the week, Issahaku has received a suggestion to move to Old Trafford.
The Ghana international was only signed by Sporting Lisbon in the summer but has caught the eye of a host of Premier League clubs.
While at Steadfast, Issahaku has already been tracked down by the likes of Liverpool.
However, Sporting were quick to secure his services and negotiated a €60m release clause into the talented youngster’s contract.
At this point, the Portuguese are getting him into the first team and have taken him off the bench six times in the league.
But Issahau’s talent is there for all to see. He is a fantastic dribbler with a rocket launch and a sweet left foot.
His performances on the international stage have not gone unnoticed either, as the 18-year-old has already won 13 caps for Ghana, a tally he is likely to add to in Qatar.
As reported by O Jogo, Issahaku has been recruited by both Manchester United and Liverpool since moving to Portugal.
Also in the picture is Everton, who have scouts present during Tottenham Hotspur’s game against Sporting in the Champions League.
Issahaku played 20 minutes in London coming off the bench to help his team secure a point away from home.
While the Ghanaian is still a raw talent, it appears that the race for his signature has already begun, just a few months after the last transfer.
