Manchester United are in advanced talks to sign Lens fullback Jonathan Clauss.

Le 10 Sport says United are nearing a deal for Clauss,.

An offer of around €7m has been submitted, and will soon be accepted by the Ligue 1 club.

The 29-year-old has excelled since moving to Lens two years ago with his performances down the right finally winning him international recognition late in his career.

Several Premier League clubs including Chelsea and Arsenal had been linked with Clauss, but it now appears as though United are firmly in the driving seat.
