Newcastle United have been linked with Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia.
According to The Telegraph, Newcastle United are interested in signing Romeo Lavia from Southampton in the summer transfer window.
The report has claimed that Lavia is among the midfielders Newcastle are looking at potentially bringing to St. James’ Park in the summer of 2023.
The Magpies will play in the UEFA Champions League next season after finishing in the Premier League top four this campaign.
Southampton will play in the Championship next season after getting relegated from the Premier League.
Could Newcastle United sign Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia?
In our view, Newcastle United could be able to sign Romeo Lavia from Southampton in the summer transfer window.
Given that the Saints will play in the Championship next season, it is really hard to see them turn down offers for any of their players.
Lavia himself could want to leave and join Newcastle.
After all, you do not know for how long the Saints will be in the Championship.
Newcastle are going places under head coach Eddie Howe and under the ownership of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment (PIF).
Then Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl described the 19-year-old defensive midfielder as “an extremely talented young player” on the club’s official website in July 2022.
Lavia’s performances for the Saints this season have justified that.
The teenager made 26 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Saints this season.
Lavia scored one goal in those games.
The defensive midfielder also gave one assist in three Carabao Cup matches and played twice in the FA Cup for Southampton this campaign.
