Birmingham City youngster Romello Mitchell is set to sign for Southampton.

The 16-year-old will move to the St Mary’s Stadium after a successful trial with the Premier League outfit.

The transfer concludes a period of speculation over the striker’s future having been linked with Manchester United and Liverpool in the last transfer window.

Mitchell has played for Blues’ Under 18s this season and is regarded as one of the best players in the Wast Hills set up.

However, Blues will receive compensation in the region of £300,000 for Mitchell who scored twice in the U16s Blades Cup final when they beat Liverpool 8-4 in December.

Meanwhile, Wolves have signed highly-rated youngster Ty Barnett from Blues and teenage defender Christian Marques from Swiss side Grasshopper.

Thirteen-year-old Barnett is a promising midfielder who is son of ex-Blues defender Dave Barnett. Blues will receive a nominal fee.

And 16-year-old Marques represents Switzerland at youth level but has Portuguese heritage.

Ty’s father Dave came from Handsworth but started out at Wolves in the 1980s before spending time at West Brom and returning to the area with Blues in 1993.

Scott Sellars in now in charge of the Wolves academy having been promoted earlier this year.

He will hope the likes of Barnett and Marques can follow in the footsteps of Elliot Watt, Benny Ashley-Seal, Ryan Giles and Niall Ennis who have all come through the youth system to play first team football.
