Valencia starlet Yunus Musah has signed a new six-year contract with the Spanish side, following links with Premier League trio Arsenal, Leeds and Everton.

It was 90min who reported the English trio’s interest, adding that Wolves are also keen on the 18-year-old who has really impressed in La Liga.

His form has been so eye-catching that Valencia have reacted to the reported interest in their teenage prospect by handing him a new six-year contract.

CBS Sports revealed that Musah’s new terms include a €100 million (£90.2 million) release clause, following his excellent start to life in Spain.

The New York City-born attacker has scored one goal in ten La Liga appearances this season. Impressively, the youngster is showcasing ability both in attack and also in defence.

WhoScored shows that Musah averages 1.1 tackles and one interception per game in La Liga. However, he also records 1.3 dribbles and draws 1.4 fouls every 90 minutes in Spain’s top-flight.

The teenager has enjoyed a rapid rise since leaving Arsenal’s Under-18 set-up.

Musah’s one and only La Liga goal this season saw him become the youngest non-Spanish player to score for Valencia, aged 17 years and 338 days according to CBS Sports.

In doing so, he broke a record held by his team-mate, Lee Kang-in.
