With several high-profile additions made over the summer, INEOS ensured that the Manchester United academy was reinforced in addition to the first team.
With his name on the Premier League squad that the club submitted to the league, Sekou Kone was quite the catch and is already expected to make his breakthrough in his debut campaign.
Other notable additions are former Perth Glory player James Overy, former Arsenal youth standout Chido Obi-Martin, and Crystal Palace’s Samuel Lusale.
The FA and the league had to approve all three transfers, which took some time. However, as The Peoples Person reported, Lusale and Overy have now obtained the required approvals.
