Manchester United have been linked with signing Richmond Boakye. Never heard of him? Let us fill you in…
So just who is Richmond Boakye?
Here are five facts about him…
1) Boakye is just 19 but he is already a full international for Ghana, scoring on his debut against China in August.
2) He was signed by Genoa back in 2008 after his Ghanaian club side participated in a tournament in Italy and he impressed scouts.
3) He scored on his Serie A debut, aged just 17, the first player from his country ever to do so.
4) He was snapped up by Juventus, who loaned him to Serie B side Sassuolo. He scored 12 goals last season, and back on loan there again, he has three in four matches so far in 2012/13.
5) He has a long-term contract until 2017, so United will not be able to snap him up like Juventus did to Paul Pogba this summer. He is valued at around £5 million.
