Southampton's Romeo Lavia is thought to be one of Liverpool's targets this summer as they look set to continue investment in midfield.
The teenage star joined the Saints last summer in a permanent deal from City, with his impact impressive on the South Coast. He was a consistent starter throughout the season, making 29 appearances in the Premier League, albeit being unable to prevent the club being relegated to the Championship.
He joined as an 18-year-old, making a remarkable impact having been allowed to leave by Man City for an initial fee of £10.5m. City are believed to hold a buy-back clause to re-sign the talented teenager, with a £40m clause believed to be in place, however, it is Liverpool who are thought to be very much in the race as they prepare an offer.
