Gavin Bazunu has joined Southampton on a permanent deal, handing Manchester City a welcome boost in the transfer market.
Bazunu, 20, joined City in 2019 from Shamrock Rovers for a six-figure sum, and has impressed in two season-long loans in League One in the last two years. After making 32 appearances for Rochdale under City's current academy head coach Brian Barry-Murphy, Bazunu really kicked on at Portsmouth last season where he played 46 times.
Now, the Republic of Ireland international has made the south coast switch from Fratton Park to St Mary's as he moves to Southampton in a deal that could reportedly rise to £15m.
