Southampton have beaten Brighton & Hove Albion to the signing of Chelsea right-back Tino Livramento, Goal.com reports.
The 18-year-old starred for the Blues’ development squad last term, bagging three goals and 10 assists from 26 appearances.
He had the chance to sign a new contract beyond June 2022, but has turned down the proposal to pursue a new challenge.
Brighton seemed favourites to sign him last month. The Seagulls wanted him to compete with Tariq Lamptey for a starting role.
