Southampton have announced that Kazeem Olaigbe has committed his future to the club by putting pen to paper on a new contract.
Megasportsarena.com reports that the new agreement will keep the Belgian-Nigerian forward at the St Mary’s Stadium until June 2024.
The 19-year-old has featured 23 times for the club’s B team this season, leading the side for goals with 13 in all competitions.
Couple that with four assists and it’s been a fruitful campaign for the youngster, rewarded with places in the first team squads for the trips to West Ham and Swansea.
Internationally has also seen Olaigbe make strides, with cameos for Belgium’s Under-19s side against France and England at the end of 2021.
Having signed from Anderlecht in the summer of 2019, the forward is now one of the key men in Dave Horseman’s B squad.
Looking to make that next step, Olaigbe said: “I feel very good, I’m very happy to have signed a new deal with the club.
“I can’t wait to start again and keep playing more games. We had a long conversation because there were also other clubs interested in me but I thought, for me, the best decision is to stay.
“The club has bought a lot of young players through to play with the first-team so I think I can prove myself and get a chance.”
