Ross County have secured a fifth summer signing with the loan capture of Kazeem Olaigbe.

The Belgium youth internationalist, who starred at the under 18s Euro finals, joins for a season from English Premier League side Southampton.

Prior to joining Southampton’s academy in 2019 at 16 years old, Olaigbe spent his youth career with Anderlecht.

Manager Malky Mackay said: “Kazeem is a really exciting young talent. His performances in Premier League 2 saw him nominated for the league’s player of the season.

“I’d like to thank Southampton for continuing to trust Ross County as a positive place for developing talent.”

Olaigbe joins County’s fourth signing, Owura Edwards – also snapped up on a season-long loan from Bristol City – at the Staggies’ training camp in Verona, northern Italy.
