Southampton’s promotion hopes & transfer news
Saints are still primed to finish in the Championship playoff places at the very worst this season, with Russell Martin’s side fourth in the division with 10 fixtures remaining. Their form has been more hit-and-miss of late, however, losing two of their last four league matches, losing ground on Leicester City, Leeds United and Ipswich Town in the process.
Southampton fans will hope that their summer plans in the transfer market revolve around their promotion back to the top flight, but either way, new faces could be needed to take the south coast outfit up another level.
Juventus midfielder Samuel Iling-Junior has emerged as a rumoured target for the club, with the youngster also wanted by a number of the Premier League clubs. For that reason, it is hard to see them persuading him to move to St Mary’s if they are in the Championship next season.
