Can't remember seeing these quotes before?
Ronald Koeman is hopeful Saints will sign a defender and a winger before the transfer window slams shut at 11pm tomorrow – but is prepared to allow Saphir Taider to leave little over three weeks after he joined the club.
A turbulent summer of ins and outs at St Mary’s will finally draw to a close tomorrow evening, and before then Koeman is optimistic of adding two fresh faces to his squad.
“We are close but it has to be close,” said Koeman of potential new recruits.
“A defensive player and winger are the two positions we look for.”
