The 17-year-old shone for Sochaux in Ligue 2 last season and is set to move to San Siro despite interest from Barcelona and Manchester City

While all the attention around Inter this summer is concentrated on the established players Antonio Conte is looking to bring to the Nerazzurri – such as Romelu Lukaku and Edin Dzeko - perhaps the most important signing the club makes is set to go under the radar.

Teenage midfielder Lucien Agoume is close to completing a move from Sochaux to San Siro, with Inter moving quickly in a bid to stave off interest from the likes of Manchester City and Barcelona in a 17-year-old who has already been compared to compatriot Paul Pogba.

Inter are set to pay an initial €4.5 million (£4m/$5.1m) fee to secure the services of Agoume, though there are likely to be a number of add-ons included within the deal.
