Manchester United comes closer to securing their fifth senior signing of the summer transfer window.
Antwerp -goalkeeper Senne Lammens has been strongly associated with a move to Old Trafford, with the deal that is expected to be completed this week.
According to De TelegraafThere is still work to be done before personal conditions have to be agreed on a deal for Lammens.
His representatives were in England this week to negotiate a potential deal.
Antwerp further fed the speculation of his departure by leaving him out of their matchday team last weekend.
Lammens would be a smart signature
The 23-year-old is a promising shot stopper and statistically surpasses both Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir last campaign.
United is expected to splash between £ 21.6 million and £ 25.9 million to get it.
Lammens played in 40 Belgian Pro League matches last season and placed an impressive 77% SAV rate.
That figure overshadowed the 67% of Onana and the modest 44% of Bayindir in the same period.
He was also confronted with eight penalties and remarkably denied half of them.
Lammens can take the time to adapt to the intensity of the Premier League and having Onana seems to be a good strategy.
Bayindir and Veteran Tom Heaton remain available as extra options for Amorim.
With a few more days in the window, all four keepers can stay in place until January.
A departure from late loan to Bayindir is also possible.
The Turkish international started this season in both Premier League matches.
His ball distribution attracted attention, but his inability to order the box and show authority during corner sets is a harmful weakness that can afford United to overlook.
