At just 17 years old, right-winger Lennart Karl announced himself on the biggest stage with a composed finish against Club Brugge in the Champions League. Representatives from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City were in attendance to watch the youngster, sources close to the agents industry have confirmed to CaughtOffside. Karl's emergence has been rapid but far from accidental. Within Bayern's campus he has long been regarded as one of the academy's brightest prospects.

Djylian N'Guessan is a player in demand Despite being just 17, N'Guessan has already shown attributes far beyond his age. Standing at 1.80m, he combines physical strength with excellent aerial ability, making him a constant threat in the box. What sets him apart, however, is his intelligence and his movement off the ball. These qualities, along with his composure in front of goal, have made him one of the standout performers in France's youth setup and a rising star in Saint-Etienne's senior side.

The 18-year-old striker joined Manchester City from PSG, and he is highly rated in the game. The African is expected to develop into a future star, and Liverpool will be disappointed to have missed out on him. Clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona were keeping tabs on his situation as well. However, Manchester City managed to win the race for him.

Current form isn't exactly inspiring at Manchester United, but that's not stopping them from looking to the longer-term when it comes to making signings. Ruben Amorim's side have continued to look laboured this season and sit 14th in the Premier League table after six games, with just two wins to their name in all competitions. That would suggest their summer recruitment for players to make an immediate impact on the squad fell short of what was required - and their latest signing is very much one for the future rather than someone who is likely to help change their fortunes in the short term.
