Manchester United are interested in signing Ajax defender Jorgy Mokio.
The 17-year-old defender is also a target for Newcastle United, according to Sasha Tavolieri. However, Manchester United are very serious about signing him and it will be interesting to see if a deal goes through.
Mokio has also been linked with a move to Liverpool or Chelsea.
Jolsey Mokio to join Manchester United?
Mokio would be a sure-fire long-term signing if Manchester United are able to complete a deal. He could be a future talent for them. The defender is highly regarded by the Dutch club and they hope to agree a new contract with him. However, the player is yet to commit his long-term future to the club.
Ajax will be disappointed if they lose a player of his potential in the coming months.
Meanwhile, a move to Manchester United could be an exciting opportunity for the young defender. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world and could develop him into a future star. Manchester United have been successful in developing young players in recent years.
Newcastle eyeing Mokio
Newcastle United are also interested in the talented young defender. It will be interesting to see if they can convince him to join the club.
Mokio should consider joining a club that has a clear plan for his development. He will also need first-team opportunities. Sitting on the bench at a big club doesn’t do him any good. He needs to choose his next destination carefully.
It will be interesting to see which of the two Premier League clubs decide to take over the interest and make a formal offer to conclude a deal. They have the resources to make a deal and the 17-year-old could be a long-term acquisition for them.
