Southampton snap up Liverpool's Hammill

Southampton have signed Liverpool winger Adam Hammill on a season-long loan deal - and the 19-year-old should make his debut this weekend.

The England Under-19 international is expected to make his debut on Saturday against Eastleigh.

Saints boss George Burley told the club's official website: "He is a young player who did very well on loan at Dunfermline last season.

"He can play right or left and is a quick player who likes to take people on. He has bags of potential and I am very pleased to have got him.

"There was a lot of interest from other clubs so I am delighted the deal is done.

"We have had a couple of other players on loan from Liverpool recently and they have both come along very nicely during their time with us.

"Maybe that stood us in good stead but I have always enjoyed working with young players and developing them with some success.

"Adam is coming to a club with good facilities and good young players and this is another step for him in his career."
