Premier League giants Manchester United may be ready to pull a fast one on a rival.
The Red Devils appear set to hijack Arsenal's deal for Radu Dragusin from Genoa.
The 21-year-old Romanian came through the Juventus setup but then moved teams for regular football.
He has been compared to ex-United captain Nemanja Vidic for his powerful nature and all-action style.
ProSport in Romania is claiming that United are very close to getting a deal done.
There is a belief that an agreement may even be found for the January transfer window.
