Southampton set to beat Brighton and AC Milan to sign Chelsea teenager Tino Livramento in £5m deal... as Saints raid Blues academy for second time after poaching Dynel Simeu

Southampton are set to win the race to sign Chelsea starlet Tino Livramento.

Highly-rated defender Livramento, 18, is poised to become the second youngster to swap Chelsea for Southampton this summer, following centre-back Dynel Simeu, after the south coast club agreed a deal with the European champions and terms with the player.

Southampton will pay a fee believed to be around £5m for Livramento who will pen a five-year deal.
