Southampton to sign Swedish youngster Rafael York?

Southampton have looked into the possibility of signing Swedish teenager Rafael York, a report claims.

The 16-year-old, who is already a regular for Sandviken in Sweden's second division, is a transfer target for the Saints as well as a host of European clubs according to the Mirror.

The youngster, who could allegedly be signed for a maximum of £156,000, has played for Sweden Under-15s and is currently part of the country's Under-17s squad.

"When you see him play, you can't believe he is a 16-year-old. There is huge interest from half-a-dozen European clubs," his agent Michael Kallback told reporters.
