The youngster has effectively confirmed his imminent transfer.
The 19-year-old is set to become the Blues’ eighth signing of another busy summer at Stamford Bridge and follows hot on the heels of the £115m acquisition of Moises Caicedo from Brighton.
He wrote: ‘To Saints Fans. As I say goodbye, I want to say a big thank you for everything you have given me during my time here. ‘I would especially like to thank all my teammates and all staff members within the club involved closely or not for putting your arms around me since the day I walked through the Staplewood Campus and for all the daily work and help behind the scenes making me become a better person, athlete and football player.
