United target close to Schalke switch

 

Schalke are close to completing a deal to sign Breel Embolo from Red Bull Leipzig worth €20m (£15.4m), according to German newspaper Bild, via Bleacher Report.

 

Embolo, 19, is currently on duty with Switzerland at Euro 2016 and has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United in recent weeks.

 

The teenage forward is lightening quick and has reportedly agreed a five-year deal with Schalke.

Only Roberto Firmino (38) was dispossessed more times in the Europa League last season than Embolo (37), who made five fewer appearances than the Liverpool forward.
