Matt Miazga? Should we know more about him?

He's played well in Major League Soccer. He's 20, strong in the air and a force in both boxes. AT 6ft 4in, he's a strong boy. Four-Four-Two recently compared him to Jaap Stam.

Where does he come from?

He was born in New Jersey and has a Polish passport, which helps English clubs. There are no work permit fights to be had. He chooses where he wants to sign and that's where he goes. Deal done. He's played 39 games in the MLS.

How long have clubs been watching him?

He signed for the New York Red Bulls academy when he was 14. People have known about him for a long time.

Scouts have flocked to watch him. Up to ten Premier League clubs have scouted him, including all the big teams.

But he'll just come and either sit on the bench or be loaned out, right?

Wrong. Part of the deal is that he gets the chance to play. Of course he has to prove he is good enough, but there is confidence from the Americans that he is a talent. Jurgen Klinsmann rates him highly and recently gave him his first cap.

What's the verdict?

He's tall, powerful and has a strong leap. He can handle the physical part of the game too. He won't be bullied.

When is he coming?

Soon. In this window. MLS are always keen to announce these deals, but your friendly and reliable MailOnline will be checking to find out more so we can be first with the news. Wherever the story breaks, remember the name - this kid could be a real force.
