Southampton have completed the signing of Aston Villa striker Cameron Archer for £15 million. The 22-year-old joins the south coast club on a four-year deal and could make his debut against Newcastle. Archer, who scored four goals on loan at Sheffield United last season, expressed excitement about his new move and a positive conversation with manager Russell Martin.

Archer returns to the Premier League with Southampton, who were promoted last season. After being brought back to Villa from Sheffield United due to a relegation clause, he departed again just over a month later. Manager Martin praised Archer’s potential and pre-season form, stating that the young forward will bring pace and goal-scoring ability to the team.

Southampton also signed Chelsea midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu on a season-long loan. Archer’s arrival paves the way for striker Sekou Mara to join Strasbourg for £10 million, a deal expected to be completed soon.
