Southampton FC signs Georgia Mullett, Laila Harbert on loan

Southampton FC has signed two young talents on loan for the remainder of the 2024/25 season: Aston Villa's Georgia Mullett and Arsenal's Laila Harbert. Mullett, a 19-year-old forward, previously scored 19 goals in as many games for Villa's U21 side and aims to enhance Southampton's attacking capabilities as they strive to climb the Championship standings. Harbert, who recently signed her first professional contract with Arsenal, brings experience from dual-registration with Watford and has captained England's U17 team. Both players are expected to contribute significantly to Southampton's campaign, as they currently sit eighth in the league, just one point behind Newcastle United. Southampton's head coach Remi Allen expressed excitement over Mullett's addition, highlighting the depth she adds to the squad. The team is looking to improve their performance, with their next match against Durham on January 26.
