AC Milan legend, Andrea Pirlo, has backed Atalanta’s Ederson to succeed in the Premier League as the midfielder edges closer to completing his move to Manchester United.
Man United have reportedly agreed to a €45 million deal with Atalanta to sign the 26-year-old.
“I think he’s a player suited to the Premier League: he’s a runner, dynamic and gritty,” Pirlo told the Daily Mail.
“I believe he’s a player capable of adapting very well to that league.”
Meanwhile, in another development, Tyrique George has completed a permanent transfer to Premier League club Everton from Chelsea.
George joined the Blues as an Under-8, and developed through the club’s youth system at Cobham.
“We thank Ty for his efforts throughout his time at Chelsea and wish him every success as he begins a new chapter in his career,” Chelsea’s statement partly read.
