And now, for today's biggest news of the day!

The Telegraph reports that Daniel James is undergoing a medical at Old Trafford, ahead of his imminent move to Manchester United from Swansea City. Only yesterday we revealed in this segment that a breakthrough had been reached in negotiations and that a deal was very close. And today, it is finally time for United fans to rejoice.

James had been with the Wales squad as they prepare for their Euro 2020 qualifying game against Croatia, which is scheduled on Saturday. The youngster was allowed to travel to Old Trafford on Wednesday night to secure the deal. James arrived at the club's training ground early on Thursday morning, and had his medical before rejoining his Wales teammates at the Liverpool Airport, as they flew off for Croatia.

The Welshman had attracted attention from a lot of Premier League clubs, but United were always the front runners for his signature. The deal will cost United an initial £15 million, while they will also have to pay an additional £3 million in installments. An official confirmation is expected by the end of today, but reports have also been floating that United will make the signing official by next week.
