Flynn Downes (born 20 January 1999) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Premier League club Southampton.
A product of the Ipswich Town academy, which he joined in 2006, Downes made his debut for the club in 2017. After spending some time on loan at Luton Town in 2018, Downes returned to Ipswich and firmly established himself in the first team for the next few seasons. After much speculation surrounding his future starting in summer 2020, Downes joined Swansea City in August 2021, moving on to West Ham United the following year.
