Josh Jeffries credits AFC Totton for his move to Southampton this week.
The 16 year-old goalkeeper was signed from Eastleigh.
He told Totton's website: “It's been surreal – after joining Totton, the directors and management decided to put my name forward to Southampton.
“I played in a game against West Brom at Staplewood and trained with the first team, including some sessions with Willy Caballero which was a great experience.
“It would be a dream to play for the Southampton first team, but my ambition is to progress and play professionally at the highest level I possibly can.
“Coming to Totton provided me with the spotlight to get noticed by Saints, so I'm grateful for everything the people at this club have done for me."
