Real Madrid secure defensive signing for the future
La Liga giants Real Madrid have on Thursday tied up a deal for a fresh addition to the club's defensive ranks at reserve team level. This comes amid confirmation of youngster Oscar Naasei preparing to take his talents to Spain's capital.
Naasei, for those not familiar with his name, is a Ghanaian defender, who chiefly lines out in a central role. The 21-year-old has spent the last couple of seasons making a name for himself on the books of Granada, continuing to act as first-choice over the early weeks of the new campaign.

And as alluded to above, on Thursday, these discussions are understood to have borne fruit for club and player alike. As per a report from market insider Fabrizio Romano:
