Como, who play in Serie A, are continuing their efforts to strengthen their defence after already bringing in Trevoh Chalobah. The club are now close to completing a move for former Manchester United player Willy Kambwala.

The young defender had made a few first-team appearances for the Red Devils before his move to Villarreal.

He has not fully delivered on the promise he once showed, but Como have still moved for him.

Matteo Moretto has reported that the club from the lakeside are now edging towards a deal for Kambwala. Villarreal and Como have agreed on an initial loan arrangement that includes an option to buy, with only the final signatures still pending in the process.

Alfredo Pedulla has reported that talks to complete the move will continue.

Kambwala is expected to arrive as a replacement for Diego Carlos, who could still move to Fenerbahce. The Turkish side are set to hold further discussions soon over the Brazilian defender.

He was not a first-choice option, and the former Manchester United player is expected to be used as a squad member under Cesc Fabregas.
