Brazilian Duo Join the Saints
Alan Shearer has wrapped up his first two signings as Southampton manager in Wellington Nem of Fluminese and Adryan from Flamengo. Wellington Nem, aged 20, was signed for £3,500,000 while Adryan, who is just 18, was bought for £850,000. It is believed that Shearer activated release clauses in both players’ contracts in order to bring them to the club.

Nem, who can play in the left, right and center attacking midfield positions is touted as one of South America’s brightest talents and was being chased by some of Europe’s top clubs, the Saints boss has recently expressed his delight that the Brazilian chose to come to Southampton. Adryan, a playmaker who prefers to play through the middle, is another exciting prospect and could turn out to be a great capture for the South Coast club.
