FOOTBALL Big spending FKF Premier League side offer to buy out Gad Mathews' Gor Mahia contract
Mathews kept 17 clean sheets last season emerging as the joint-best goalkeeper in the FKF Premier League.
Jordan Henderson has departed for Al Ettifaq while Fabinho has also joined the former club captain in the Saudi Pro League at Al Ittihad.
James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all left at the end of their contracts while Fabio Carvalho moved on loan to RB Leipzig.
Lavia made 29 appearances as Southampton were relegated last season, missing a chunk of the campaign due to a hamstring injury.
He was also subject to a £50m deadline day approach from Chelsea last September, despite only having joined Southampton a few months earlier.
Blessed with press-resistant qualities, an exceptional passing range and the ability to carry the ball, Lavia has the confidence and composure to control the tempo of games despite not turning 20 until next year.
The Belgian’s youth gives him huge room to develop and grow, and Klopp is exceptional at molding players into roles which fit his system.
He is not afraid to get stuck in and covers a lot of ground in similar areas of the pitch to Fabinho.
