Back in the mid-2010s, it seemed as though every single player that Liverpool signed was arriving from Southampton. Fast-forward a few years and Southampton have turned the tables on the top clubs, and this time the 'prey' is Manchester City.
Southampton have already signed two City youngsters this summer in the shape of goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu and midfielder Romeo Lavia. Bazunu. 20, joined City from Irish club Shamrock Rovers in early 2019, and represented the under-18s and EDS before spending seasons on loan at Rochdale and then Portsmouth. While at Pompey he made his senior debut for the Republic of Ireland.
Lavia, who is just 18, only joined City from Anderlecht two years ago, but quickly established himself as a key player for the development sides. Last season he made two appearances for Pep Guardiola's side, in the League Cup and FA Cup.
