Manchester United sign young forward Enzo Kana-Biyik
Kana-Biyik, who scored nine goals in 18 appearances for Le Havre's Under-19 side last season, will not be in first-team contention for Ruben Amorim 's side now.
United have immediately loaned Kana-Biyik to Lausanne, who finished fifth in the Swiss Super League last season.
United have brought in a series of young players in Amorim's reign, with Patrick Dorgu, bought at 20 in January, making 20 appearances and 18-year-old Ayden Heaven going on to make six first-team appearances.
Left wing-back Diego Leon, 18, completed his move from Cerro Porteno on Saturday in a deal that could cost £7m. The Paraguayan has said he hopes to be in the first-team squad this season.

Liverpool agree fee for new centre-back
Liverpool have agreed a £26m fee with Parma for Italian defender Giovanni Leoni. The 18-year-old centre-back is set to become their sixth major summer signing and take their spending in this window past £300m. Leoni will begin a medical on Merseyside on Thursday and will discuss personal terms, which are not expected to be a problem after he made it clear his preference was to join Liverpool. The Italy Under-19 international had also attracted interest from Internazionale as well as other Premier League clubs and will go straight into Liverpool's squad, with any talk of a loan move ruled out. He will join Liverpool after they stepped up their attempts to find a replacement for Jarell Quansah, who was sold to Bayer Leverkusen. The Premier League champions have also opened talks with Crystal Palace about England centre-back Marc Guehi. Their move for Leoni has no bearing on their interest in Guehi, with no sign so far they can agree a fee with Palace. Liverpool have had to use midfielders Ryan Gravenberch, Wataru Endo and Trey Nyoni and left-back Andy Robertson as centre-backs in pre-season after the sale of Quansah and when Joe Gomez was injured and Virgil van Dijk was ill. Head coach Arne Slot admitted after Sunday's Community Shield defeat to Palace that their defending was a concern, with nine goals conceded in their last four games. And their need for defensive reinforcements was also greater as Ibrahima Konate is in the last year of his contract. Now Leoni is set to join Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Giorgi Mamardashvili, whose transfer from Valencia was arranged last year, among their summer signings.

Tottenham ‘disgusted' by racial abuse aimed at Mathys Tel after Super Cup defeat
Tottenham have said they are 'disgusted' after forward Mathys Tel received racial abuse on social media after Wednesday night's UEFA Super Cup defeat to Paris St Germain. Tel missed a spot-kick in a penalty shoot-out, which Tottenham lost 4-3 after they had surrendered a late 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 after 90 minutes. The France Under-21s international, whose loan deal from Bayern Munich was made permanent in a £30million deal in June, was targeted with abuse after firing his effort wide. Tottenham said in a statement: 'We are disgusted at the racial abuse that Mathys Tel has received on social media following last night's UEFA Super Cup defeat. 'Mathys showed bravery and courage to step forward and take a penalty, yet those who abuse him are nothing but cowards – hiding behind anonymous usernames and profiles to spout their abhorrent views. 'We will work with the authorities and social media platforms to take the strongest possible action against any individual we are able to identify. We stand with you, Mathys.' Tottenham led 2-0 until the 85th minute at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine, Italy, through goals from Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero before late efforts from Lee Kang-in and Goncalo Ramos hauled PSG level.
