Southampton are reportedly planning to hijack Bayer Leverkusen’s move for Manchester City starlet Samuel Edozie.
The Saints are keen on signing Manchester City attacking prospect Samuel Edozie, who is also on the radars of German giants Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayer Leverkusen were closing in on a deal for Edozie, having agreed on a fee with Manchester City. But with Southampton now entering the race it remains to be seen where the player ends up with an exit from the Etihad all but guaranteed.
Samuel Edozie started at the Millwall academy before joining Manchester City’s youth setup in 2019. The 19-year-old forward has made 22 appearances for the Citizens Under-18 setup, scoring five goals and assisting six more. He has featured 33 times for their Under-23 team and netted eight goals in the process
Edozie has made just one senior appearance for Manchester City, which came in the FA Community Shield encounter last season against Leicester City. With a clear pathway to the first-team blocked, the 19-year-old could be on his way out this summer, especially with his contract set to expire in 2023.
Bayer Leverkusen are said to be keen on signing Edozie from Manchester City and were closing in on finalising a deal until Southampton decided to make an attempt to hijack the deal.
