'The world is at your feet': Jadon Sancho sends classy message to former Man City team-mate Romeo Lavia after the teenage talent scored his first Premier League goal in Southampton's 2-1 win against Chelsea

Jadon Sancho has praised his former Manchester City team-mate Romeo Lavia after the youngster scored his first Premier League goal for Southampton.

The duo both came through City's academy before Sancho moved to Borussia Dortmund in 2017, and then on to Manchester United last year. Meanwhile, Lavia left the Etihad Stadium earlier this summer to join the Saints, and he opened his account for his new club when he scored the equaliser in Southampton's 2-1 win against Chelsea on Tuesday.

They may have gone their separate ways in recent years, but Sancho is clearly still keeping a close eye on his ex-team-mate, and he sent Lavia a classy message on Instagram alongside a picture of the two of them together from 2017, plus an image of the two of them playing against each other when Southampton took on United last Saturday.
