Manchester United have signed Cardiff teenager Aaron Ramsey for £5million.
United's interest was first revealed by Mirror Sport and midfielder Ramsey, 17, will spend next season on loan at his former club before moving to Old Trafford.
Cardiff will receive £2m with the rest of the fee payable upon completion of clauses.
Ramsey, who made his Cardiff debut at 16, is regarded as Wales' most talented left-sided midfielder since Ryan Giggs.
By agreeing a fee with Cardiff, United have fended off interest from Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton for the player who featured as a sub in last month's FA Cup Final defeat by Portsmouth.
A club statement read: "Manchester United is delighted to announce it has agreed terms with Cardiff for the transfer of Aaron Ramsey."
