Southampton are now expecting Liverpool to pay the extra £5million fee for midfielder Romeo Lavia. Liverpool are now ready to seal the deal for the Belgian.

Lavia is keen on the move and was left out of Southampton’s squad for their Carabao Cup game last night. He also played no part in the club’s opening Championship game.

There is now a growing feeling Romeo Lavia will be a Liverpool player this summer.
