If the recent rumours out of St Mary’s are anything to go off, Southampton’s summer window has so far seen them balance moving for established Premier League performers with some of England’s most exciting young players.
Southampton swoop for a slew of new signings
The first signing of the window saw Southampton reunite with Adam Lallana, who returned to the South Coast club almost a decade after he left for Liverpool. Another ex-Saint on the club’s list of targets is Danny Ings. The 31-year-old made exactly 100 appearances for the Saints across both loan and permanent spells at the club and now could return after struggling for form at West Ham.
Young players are also a priority for the Saints with the club set to make the signing of Peterborough United star Ronnie Edwards. The 21-year-old has long been linked with a £10 million move to the South Coast this summer.
With one eye in the Saints’ recruitment team looking for the next generation of stars, Southampton are now stepping up their pursuit of a talented English striker.
Saints step up pursuit of Man City striker
As first reported by Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke, Southampton are stepping up their interest in Man City striker Liam Delap. The outlet claims that the Premier League champions value the player at £20 million as they look to offload the 21-year-old this summer.
