Brentford has signed 18-year-old left-back Jayden Meghoma from Southampton for an initial fee of £5 million, potentially rising to £10 million with add-ons. Meghoma, an England youth international, expressed his excitement about joining Brentford, highlighting the club's commitment to developing young talent under manager Thomas Frank. He previously had limited first-team exposure at Southampton, making four appearances but not playing in the league, which influenced his decision to move in search of more opportunities. Brentford's recruitment strategy this summer has focused on youth, following the departures of key players like Ivan Toney, and Meghoma is expected to compete for a starting position. The transfer marks a significant moment in the summer window as Brentford looks to bolster its squad ahead of the new season.
