YOUNG Saints defender Jayden Meghoma is set for a medical at Brentford ahead of a move worth up to £10million, the Daily Echo understands.

Meghoma, 18, made four senior appearances for Saints under manager Russell Martin since joining from Tottenham Hotspur in 2022.

However, the youngster's Southampton contract was due to expire at the end of this season with Meghoma having no intention of signing an extension.

Brentford are set to seal the signing of the England under-19 youth international, with an initial £5million payment and a further £5million in add-ons.

The Bees look to complete a move before this evening's 11pm transfer deadline, while Saints hope to raise funds for more additions.

Meghoma was not involved in Southampton's senior pre-season despite his regular involvement in the squad last campaign.

Had he signed a new deal with the club and committed his future, it is likely he would have seen the pitch during the club's tour in Spain.
