Saints will tomorrow unveil Bradley Wright-Phillips as their very own Coca-Cola kid.
The 21-year-old striker will be presented to the press at St Mary's tomorrow morning alongside George Burley and chief executive Jim Hone after a near £1m fee was agreed with Manchester City.
Wright-Phillips is the younger half brother of Shaun Wright-Phillips, who last summer moved to Chelsea for £21m, and is the biological son of Arsenal legend Ian Wright.
Saints have used the £250,000 they were awarded courtesy of winning Coca'Cola's 'win a player for your club' promotion towards the fee.
News of the signing is already being well received by fans and represents a statement of intent from the new board to sign the players Burley wants.
