What Kevin De Bruyne and Pep Guardiola have said about Liverpool transfer target Romeo Lavia

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.
