Southampton, Brighton and Hove Albion and Burnley are reportedly interested in Bolton Wanderers youngster Luca Connell.

Southampton are interested in signing Luca Connell from Bolton Wanderers in the January transfer window, according to The Daily Mail (print edition, page 122, Sunday, January 27, 2019).

According to the report, the Saints’ Premier League rivals, Brighton and Hove Albion and Burnley, are also interested in the 17-year-old, who can operate as a midfielder or as a defender.

It has been reported that Southampton, Brighton and Burnley all could make a move for the teenager this week, with the youngster claimed to cost around £1 million.

Good long-term signing

Connell is only 17 years of age, but the teenager is hugely talented and has a bright future ahead of him.

The youngster is only starting out in his career, and Southampton, Brighton and Burnley all have to be patient in regard to his development and progress.

If the youngster moves to the Saints, the Seagulls or the Clarets, then he will probably be part of their youth teams for the next two or so years.
