Southampton is monitoring Jimmy-Jay Morgan's move to West Brom closely. The 20-year-old attacker joined the Baggies from Chelsea for £4m.
What happened to Jimmy-Jay Morgan at Southampton?
Morgan emerged as a top talent in the Southampton academy, scoring 27 times for the under-16s and 13 for the under-18s in the 2021/22 campaign. He played up multiple age groups and made matchday squads for the senior side under Nathan Jones.
Why did Southampton sell Jimmy-Jay Morgan?
The Saints sold Morgan to Chelsea for up to £6m in 2023 after he rejected fresh terms. The decision has been smart so far, as Morgan made no senior appearances for Chelsea.
