Princewill Ehibhatiomhan impresses in trials with Chelsea and Southampton

Former Reading prospect Princewill Ehibhatiomhan has been trialling with Southampton.

The Daily Echo says 16-year-old forward Ehibhatiomhan scored six goals in 13 matches for the Royals in the Under-18 Premier League last campaign.

He is an England youth international with a handful of appearances at under-17 and under-18 level, including scoring his first goal versus Romania last year.

Ehibhatiomhan has been trialling with Saints, playing and scoring a superb goal in their eventual 3-2 defeat at Crystal Palace at the weekend.

It had been reported by The Secret Scout that the youngster was on trial at Chelsea earlier in the summer, after rejecting a new deal at Reading.

At 16-years-old, any fee to acquire Ehibhatiomhan would be based on development and training years at Reading and he could not have a professional deal ratified until he turns 17 next month.
