Romeu spent the last couple of seasons on loan at Valencia and Stuttgart. The Spaniard has struggled to cement a regular starting place at Chelsea since his move from Barcelona.

It seems that Southampton have agreed a permanent deal for the out of favour midfielder and will offer him a way out of Stamford Bridge for good.
