 According to The Metro, the teenager was reportedly spotted at the club's London Colney training base and it is rife the deal will be concluded in no time.

Greenwood, 16, was a subject of transfer speculation earlier this summer as a number of elite teams in Europe including Manchester United and Liverpool were interested in recruiting the services of the teenager.
