Chelsea's youth exodus is set to continue with the departure of highly rated right-back Valentino Livramento.
The 18-year-old, who goes by Tino, is on the cusp of sealing a £5m move to Southampton, although Chelsea have not cut ties with him completely after negotiating themselves both a buy-back and a sell-on clause.
Here's all you need to know about the young star.
1. He's very highly rated by Chelsea
Picked up by Livramento, great feet too and then a cool finish from Jon Russell! ?

Chelsea were aggressively pushing Livramento's development for a while because they see him as a genuine future star.
Given his Under-23 debut before he had even turned 17, Livramento enjoyed the best season of his young career in 2020/21 when he racked up three goals and ten assists from right-back, earning himself Chelsea's Academy Player of the Season award.
He follows Conor Gallagher and Billy Gilmour in picking up the award, signalling the kind of heights Chelsea believe he can reach.
