Southampton are set to complete the £10.5m signing of young Manchester City midfielder Romeo Lavia.
The 18-year-old Belgian midfielder, who City signed from Anderlecht in 2020, has penned a contract with the south coast club, bringing a close to a successful two-year-stint at the City Football Academy. The deal could rise to £14m and City will get 20 per cent of his next sale.
Lavia's performances for the U18s and the EDS over the past couple of seasons inspired a belief that he would be the future of City's midfield, as he played an integral role in helping the EDS win back-to-back Premier League 2 titles in 2020/21 and 2021/22, and was named player of the season in the former.
