Would be the death knell for his career. In his position on the RW they have Saka, Nwaneri, and they're about to sign Madueke. In the 10, they have Odegaard, Havertz, Nwaneri might end up there eventually, and have already committed to wunderkind Max Dowman (15) being in the first team squad next season. 

Doesn't ring true to me.

Good analysis as it turns out.. There was a conversation between Arsenal and Dibling's agent a few days ago, but the signing of Madueke has killed it. I was surprised when the interest came up, because the effort to sign Madueke was quite advanced, but there you go - all's well that ends well. Dibling isn't going to be seen folding bibs at London Colney.

Southampton Incoming Transfer Rumours so far this summer

I have taken a bit of time to gather details about players who rumours have suggested have been linked to Southampton. I have excluded rumours that seem to be only coming from Saints Marching rather than any more credible source - though not suggesting any of these sources are necessarily credible!

This is the level of elite organisation of data i can get behind.

Well done sir

[Wade Garrett]

Be good to sign Patterson and O’Brien.

Thank you @SaintJackoInHurworth. Most useful post seen on here in ages. 🙏🙌. Good job!

Southampton FC seal signing of young Sheffield Wednesday midfielder | Daily Echo https://share.google/qrFKRapLwR2Ez9XY7

Very highly rated young MF joining the U21s. Wednesday fan I know was gutted to see him leave - thought he was gonna be a big player for them. Let's just hope this one doesn't go the same way as Thierry Small did.
