Southampton made eight new acquisitions in the transfer window, four of which were permanent and four of which were on loan, to replace the players they had poached.
These additions have contributed to Southampton’s excellent start in the Championship, where they presently sit fourth.
Looking ahead to the January transfer window, the Saints should scout players like Diallo, Rak-Sakyi, Omobamidele, and Katongo.
Following their relegation from the Premier League during the summer, Southampton had a busy transfer window.
Naturally, some of their best players were poached by top flight clubs and moved on, whilst the Saints then had the job of going out and replacing them.
In the end, there were eight new arrivals at the St Mary’s Stadium, with four permanent arrivals, and four loanees.
Those arrivals have helped Southampton make a decent start to the season, with the club currently fourth in the Championship.
It may be, though, that further additions are required in January to push for the top two, and with that in mind, we’ve identified four players Southampton should be scouting ahead of the winter window.
It was no secret that Patrick Roberts was of interest to Southampton last summer and heading into January. However, given he has just signed a new deal at Sunderland, perhaps Southampton should target Diallo.
Known to be a target of Sunderland, the Saints could try and pip the Black Cats to his temporary signature, given there could be conflict between where Roberts plays and where he does.
