 EXCLUSIVE: Romeo Lavia training and return date confirmed.  Romeo Lavia was a standout player for Southampton last season as the club were relegated from the Premier League and he has since signed for Chelsea for a fee that could reach £58million The 19-year-old Belgian midfielder only signed for the Blues from Saints last week for an initial £53million, rising to £58million with add-ons.

Newcastle United have already expressed an interest in signing the 20-year-old defender this summer but their initial offer of £12m and their improved bid of £21m have both been rejected. According to MailOnline, Southampton are holding out for a £38m fee for Livramento and Chelsea have now held discussions over a move for their former right-back. The report claims that as part of the deal, Chelsea would allow Southampton to keep Livramento on loan for their upcoming season in the Championship. Livramento had not made a first-team appearance for Chelsea before joining Southampton but was highly rated in their academy. After his move to St Mary’s, Livramento quickly became one of Southampton’s standout performers before he suffered an ACL injury in ...
