Saints have wasted no time in wrapping up a deal and Stoke assistant Dave Kemp believes it is a good move for the player.
He told the club's official website: "He's a great lad, he's been very popular here but obviously it's difficult when your father is the manager.
"It is a great opportunity for him to push on with his own career and everyone at the club wishes him all the best as he embarks on an exciting new challenge with Southampton."
