The two clubs are in talks on a deal between £8m-£10m.
An agreement has yet to be finalized but SportsMail understands that talks are progressing positively and a deal is on the verge of being agreed.
Samuel Edozzi has mostly played for Manchester City’s Under 23 team in recent times.
The teenage winger has also been capped internationally by England for the Under 19s
England Under 19 international Adozzi appeared Bayer Leverkusen-bound in the first transfer window.
However, Southampton have emerged as fellow suitors and are now set to make him the latest exciting young addition to Ralph Hasenhutl’s squad.
Southampton have already signed two promising prospects from City this window, who have quickly established themselves in Hasenhutl’s squad in goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu and midfielder Romeo Lavia.
Southampton have made a £21m bid for PSV star Cody Gakpo and there is still a gap between the two clubs and their respective valuations.
But Southampton hope they can still stage a coup and take down the Dutch attacker before the window closes.
