I'll save my excitement until I see him in the match day squad.

I'm not well with South American football, but isn't Gabriel Jesus another one which we were also linked with? How is he compared to Marlos Moreno? Is Marlos Moreno the more prominent player we're signing? I'm hearing either him or Gabriel Jesus being the big upcoming talents of South American football. Both look undoubtedly good in Youtube.

Gabriel Jesus is # 1 unanimously right now in South America. He wants to finish the job of bringing the league home so we won't be hearing anything about him signing anywhere till the January window. Early signs is he wants to follow his idol Ronaldo's path to Inter Milan.

Marlos would be in my top 5 talents in South America with Gabriel Jesus,Gabigol,Marlos, Giovani LO Celso(Angel Di Maria personally got him the move to PSG this summer) and Luan from Grêmio.

Marlos has taken South America by storm(they literally called him a tornado with Ferrari speed lol) this tournament and Atletico Nacional should be favorite to win unless Tevez and Boca overturn their semi final loss.

Last week versus São Paulo when everybody was thinkin Nacional were going to kill the game off towards the end, he's still running around the box and already knew he was going to backheel assist the 2nd goal. His creativity to get in better positions is incredible.
Plays everywhere up top.

Cheers for the info,take you watch a lot of South American football,also seem to be well clued up on this lad..

Yup, Brazil and Argentina mostly but between Copa America and Copa Libertadores this kid made me pay attention to him and Atletico Nacional in general. They are a factory with other players making moves to clubs like Ajax and Sevilla this summer.

I think the official word will happen mostly like after the final but if they happen to lose their 2 away goal advantage in the 2nd leg the deal will be announced sooner but I doubt it since they rarely lose at home. So pencil in between the 13th - 27th

Thanks for the info. Seems like a top talent this guy. The number of passes to the goal was really great. He seems to know which positions to take and for his age, he seems like a very mature player. Hopefully he can become one of our superstars in the future.

Doubt this will be a loan to a Spanish/Portuguese team.
Plays for the Columbian 1st team (7 appearances) who are ranked 3rd in the world.
Wont arrive till his team Atlético Nacional is out of the Copa Libertadores (and that could be the final on the 27th July)

You reckon he'll stay with the first team, work permit issues permitting?

Yep. He's good enough to get a work permit now.

Surely he's good enough to join us straight off unless as suggested it is work permit issues.
