Manchester United have reportedly prised highly-rated striker Tyler Adjei away from Reading.
The 16-year-old becomes the first signing of the Mauricio Pochettino era following the Argentine's appointment at Old Trafford.
According to The Athletic, the teenager was registered as a new Red Devils player this week.
What has been said about Tyler Adjei?
A source told the news outlet: "He's got an athletic profile; he's got more to come physically.
"He moves well, he has a good temperament, mentality and demeanour.
"He has a good energy to train.
"He’s got a way to go technically, as is the norm for a player of his age."
Able to operate anywhere across the front line, it has been claimed that United view him as a No.9 going forward.
With five goals from 18 games in the U18 Premier League, Adjei is believed to have had no shortage of suitors.
But its the Theatre of Dreams that the youngster has chosen.
Adjei will link up at United with international experience to his name, having been capped on six occasions for England's Under-15s.
And it will be with Darren Fletcher's U18s that the centre-forward will be operating in.
What other youngsters have Man United signed?
United's acquisition of Adjei is just the latest teenage star that they have snapped as part of their aggressive pursuit of talent for their academy.
Twice the club raided rivals Manchester City in the summer after bringing in midfielders Karim Cassim and David Eze.
And they also managed to lure winger Isaac Konde away from Liverpool.
That is in addition to bringing in forward Tynan Thompson from Tottenham in a package deal worth £8million.
Meanwhile, Cristian Orozco joined from Colombian outfit Fortaleza CEIF, with goalkeeper Kit Margetson snapped up following his Swansea departure.
And with Pochettino known for bringing through youth players, those in the academy know there is a pathway to the first team.
