Sam Edozie and Juan Larios have penned farewell messages to Manchester City after sealing permanent transfers to Southampton on deadline day.
Edozie, 19, signed for Saints in a transfer worth up to £10m having been at City since 2019, while full-back Larios moves for £6m to end a two year spell at the City Football Academy. Winger Edozie made one appearance for the Blues at senior level, and he thanked his coaches and teammates in a goodbye post on Instagram, saying the decision to leave City was a difficult one.
They join the likes of Gavin Bazunu and Romeo Lavia in making the move from City to St Mary's this summer, with Southampton recruitment chief Joe Shields — who spent nine years at City, four of them as head of academy recruitment — playing a big role in their transfer strategy.
