(Reuters) - Brazilian left back Wellington and forward Juan will join Southampton in January from Sao Paulo after signing pre-contract agreements with the south coast outfit, the promoted Premier League club said on Friday.

Having made his senior debut for Sao Paulo in 2020, 23-year-old Wellington has made 150 appearances for the club. He has also represented the Brazil Under-23s.

Meanwhile, 22-year-old Juan has represented Brazil's Under-17s and Under-18s and made 80 appearances for Sao Paulo.

The duo will join Southampton when their contracts with Sao Paulo expire.
