Finn Azaz M Middlesborough b.2000

Off the mark. Goal today for Boro against Norwich.


Boro strike first and are top of the live table...

Norwich go to sleep at the back and Hayden Hackney strides forward before sliding the ball left to Finn Azaz to slam home the opening goal.

Josh Sargent had spurned a glorious chance to put the hosts ahead moments before.

City being punished for their profligacy.

On his way to Southampton for 12 Million plus 3 Million add ons....bit underwhelming

It's great profit didn't they only pay 2 m8llion for him?

I think it was closer to 2.5M plus add-ons but yeah.

Similar fee to Kasey McAteer. Serious money being spent up at the top of the second tier in England these days. Nothing against McAteer but it feels like Southampton have signed the better player here.

This transfer has now been confirmed. Of the three big Irish moves in the Championship that are ongoing or have just been finalised (Azaz to Southampton for £12m, McAteer to Ipswich for £12m and Idah to Swansea for £7m), it feels like Southampton have gotten the best deal.
