Hmmm.....Interesting....I wonder how much the two clubs have talked about this recently, if at all?
Playing career
Lallana was born in St Albans but moved to the Iford area of Bournemouth[1] when he was five years old.
He was a member of the Bournemouth Centre of Excellence, where his rich potential was eventually spotted by a talent scout from Southampton, with Lallana snapped up by the then-Premier League club, joining the Saints Academy as a 12–year old in 2000. Southampton paid £3,000 compensation to Bournemouth with further payments of £5,000 and £10,000 when he signed scholarship and professional contracts respectively. The contract with Southampton provides for Bournemouth to receive 25% of any transfer fee, in addition to the payments already made.[1]
