Premier League clubs have lost out to Borussia Dortmund in the race for Paris Saint-Germain defender Soumaila Coulibaly.
The France youth international Coulibaly has agreed a pre-contract deal to join Dortmund in the summer on a free transfer when his contract at PSG expires.
Coulibaly's signature on a free transfer was fiercely contested with some of Europe's biggest clubs from the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A all making offers for the impressive centre-back.
Manchester United, Barcelona and Juventus were among the clubs to have courted Coulibaly, but Dortmund moved smartly in the transfer market to land one of the best young talents in Europe for next season.
