Leny Yoro's transfer to Manchester United is all but official with the 18-year-old centre-back having already undergone his medical.
Earlier this year, Thierry Henry spoke very highly of the young defender but Arsenal decided against entering the race for his signature.
Speaking to Le Petit Lillois back in March, Henry said: "We often talk about Leny. He is having an exemplary start to his career. To establish himself in Lille as he is doing...
"He always has some young reactions, and that is completely normal. It comes slowly, you make mistakes and sometimes you get embarrassed.
"[But] he goes on to play one match after another, he starts quite often and quite often is good. It's really good for him. He is professional, he's a good guy, well-educated.
"I like him. He performs well. Afterwards, there are always things to refine, but that's completely normal. Frankly, it's really a more than positive progression."
