Southampton look to hijack Leverkusen's £5m deal for Manchester City winger Sam Edozie... despite confirming the £11m signing of Bordeaux striker Sekou Mara

Southampton have made a late move for Manchester City for winger Sam Edozie.

The 19-year-old is training with City's U23s and had been expected to join Bayer Leverkusen for £5million this summer.

Edozie made his first-team debut for Pep Guardiola's side last season during their community shield clash with Leicester City but has not played since.
