The mother of a Guernsey boy who signed for Southampton FC's Academy said the family left the island to "expand our children's lives and opportunities"
Kayo Ajanaku signed a contract with the Southampton's under-10s in August 2024 and recently progressed to the under-11s squad.
His mother Nicky Ajanaku said within four months of moving to the UK from the island her son had been scouted by both Southampton and Chelsea.
She said the family had "settled into UK life well", and had "no regrets" of leaving although they "still miss our beautiful island" and would never rule out coming home.
