A former Southampton youngster has revealed why he controversially left Everton in favour of joining the South Coast club.
Southampton have a long history of producing first-teamers from their Staplewood academy, with Matt Le Tisier and Alan Shearer being the poster boys.
Due to their glowing reputation in developing young players, the club have been able to attract talented teenagers from academies across the country.
Romeo Lavia and Tino Livramento, who joined from Manchester City and Chelsea, are perfect examples of that.
The duo flourished in the Southampton first team and departed last summer for a combined total of £98m.
Thierry Small was another player who joined the South Coasters with real promise and in a recent interview with London News Online, he revealed all on his controversial switch from Everton.
