Manchester United are in negotiations to sign Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, as part of a deal to potentially replace their current goalkeepers David de Gea and Dean Henderson.
This comes in light of uncertainty over the future of the two goalkeepers, with Tom Heaton already being offered first-team football with Luton and Everton.
Suzuki is one of three options being considered for the second choice goalkeeper. United are also reportedly close to reaching a full agreement with Inter Milan for Andre Onana, which is said to be worth an estimated €50 million plus €5 million in add-ons.
If Suzuki is signed, it would be a record fee of £5 million for a Japanese player.
The other two goalkeepers being considered are Dinamo Zagreb’s Dominik Livakovic and Feyenoord’s Justin Bijlow.

Declan Rice Move
Declan Rice is set to complete a move to Arsenal after West Ham signed the final paperwork. The 21-year-old midfielder has been with the Hammers since the age of 14 and has made over 100 Premier League appearances.
Rice’s decision to leave the club has been met with mixed responses from fans and pundits alike, with much speculation surrounding his motivations. According to Rice himself, he wanted to take the next step in his career by joining a bigger club. Arsenal is the perfect fit for him, as they have been seeking a defensive midfielder for some time. Rice also cited the need for a new challenge as a factor in his decision.
This move will strengthen Arsenal’s squad and provide a solution to their midfield woes. Rice is expected to be on the pitch for Arsenal in their upcoming matches.
