We made a late push for Livramento but he’s off to Brighton, apparently. Bate off to Leeds for £1.5m

James Morris is on trial at Watford alongside 8 other U23 players at the moment.

Nice seem to sign a player every other day.

We will find out if Dean Jones is right soon enough. Spurs tend to brief a ton of journo’s.

Somebody much sharper than me has said he’s got Lemina’s squad number 👀

Anyone see him in the training pics today?

I notice he suddenly has a Number on his training shirt…

Probably can’t afford him yet.

We wanted him, but Leeds got him.

It’s from here. No idea if the source is legit.

Exactly!

We are monitoring them, but (IMO) I doubt we will land any of them. MLG is going to batter me for this - but its crazy to me that we aren’t better at landing lads outside the academy. All 3 are top prospects & let’s be honest, Livramento would be very close to getting games for us. Let’s not forget Dynel Symeu who I mentioned the other day who’s a Southampton lad.

Apparently started following Leeds players on Instagram. Leeds’ recruiting of top young players is impressive.

Saints linked with another one of the Chelsea lads who’s stalling on a contract: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9802553/amp/Chelsea-teenager-Lewis-Bate-facing-uncertain-future-delays-signing-new-contract.html?__twitter_impression=true

Via Dan Sheldon this morning: Sources have told The Athletic that Southampton will receive an initial £1 million for the sale, although that could rise to £4 million depending on certain clauses being met. The St Mary’s hierarchy are also understood to have included a sell-on clause, around the 30-35 per cent mark, should Young Boys sell Jankewitz. That, however, will decrease if the overall fee rises to the £4 million threshold.
