Premier League Champions sign talented prodigy from Southampton
Southampton currently have one of the best young talents in the Premier League with promising players such as Tyler Dibling, Sam Amo-Ameyaw and Mateus Fernandes turning heads with their impressive performances this season. On top of that, top talents such as Samuel Edozie and Shea Charles have also been brilliant during their season long loan move at the beginning of the 2024/25 season. Moreover, the Saints also acquired the services of England’s U18 star, Noel Buck from Major League Soccer side New England Revolution in this summer transfer window.
However, there have been a few outgoings as well, with Premier League side Brentford completing the signing of young Southampton fullback Jayden Meghoma for a transfer fee of £18 million on the final day of the transfer window. Now, another promising talent has departed the St. Mary’s Stadium to join the Premier League Champions. Recently, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City have secured the services of midfield prodigy Harrison Miles from Southampton in a transfer move that includes a significant transfer fee as well as performance related add-ons.

Miles is a 16-year-old box-to-box midfielder who is a deep lying playmaker at the defensive midfield position. Further, Miles also possesses great recovery pace and helps in winning ball possession while defending as well. His performances for the youth teams led him to make his debut for Southampton’s U21 team in the 4-2 defeat against Arsenal in the Premier League 2.
Therefore, City’s decision to add the talented midfielder to their youth ranks highlights their focus towards developing several young talents at the club. Players like Phil Foden, Jadon Sancho and Cole Palmer are some of the best players to come through the youth ranks at Manchester City and are currently some of the best Premier League stars. Now, Southampton needs to keep their top talents at the club and help them to develop into regular starters for the Saints in the upcoming seasons.
It’s been a disastrous start for Saints upon their return to the Premier League, but a win at Bournemouth tonight can see them move out of the relegation zone, after the results over the weekend.
It was a mixed set of results for Southampton over the weekend in terms of their relegation rivals.
Only Everton of the 6 clubs in the bottom 8 won, the Toffees beating Crystal Palace who dropped into the bottom 3, Wolves remained rock bottom after losing at home to Liverpool and Leicester almost got a point at Arsenal after coming back from 2-0 down, only to concede an injury time goal to go down 3-2.
West Ham remain in trouble, but their point at Brentford means that we cannot catch them even with a win this evening, just above them are Bournemouth who go into tonight’s game looking over their shoulder.
Sitting on 7 points are Manchester United & Brentford, with the Bee’s one of those clubs who could find themselves dropping down the table if they are not careful.
