Southampton are reportedly tracking Burton Albion’s exciting young midfielder Joe Sbarra.
The report claims that the Saints have been tracking the 18-year-old playmaker who made his first team debut for the Brewers in their final match against Reading last season.
Sbarra has impressed during the pre-season for Burton, and he hopes to get more game time this season.
However, he has only 12 months left on his present deal, and therefore, Southampton can snap him up at a bargain price if they move quickly.
He scored his first goal of the pre-season in Burton’s 2-2 draw against Matlock Town steering a rebound shot from close range.
The youngster has made some eye-catching performances in each of the games he has played so far. He has played in a variety of midfield roles, but looked best in the attacking midfield role.
He is pacy, tidy in possession, and good at passing as well.
Sbarra looks an exciting prospect and it remains to be seen whether Southampton come up with a concrete offer for the youngster.
