Taylor Harwood-Bellis, who was on loan from Manchester City, has become the property of the 'saints' as the obligatory purchase clause of 20 million pounds (23.5 million euros) was automatically activated with the promotion.

Taylor Harwood-Bellis is the first acquisition of Southampton for the next season. The 22-year-old has collected 46 appearances with the Saints this season, scoring two goals. He was part of the Burnley squad, winners of the Championship last season.
