Ornstein: Southampton make £15m bid to sign new player and have had reply.
Southampton have now made a £15m offer for an “unbelievable” player, according to a fresh update from reliable journalist David Ornstein, and a reply has already been received.
Southampton transfer news
The Saints are edging closer to their return to Premier League action, having basked in the glory of their Championship playoff final win over Leeds United all summer long. New signings were paramount as soon as the final whistle blew at Wembley back in May, however, and it has already been a positive transfer window.
Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Flynn Downes were two influential loanees for Southampton last season, playing a big role in their promotion, and they have now sealed permanent switches to St Mary’s, coming in from Manchester City and West Ham respectively. Ben Brereton Diaz has also come in from Villarreal, which could be a strong signing, while highly-rated centre-back Ronnie Edwards has joined from Peterborough United, among others.

It would be a surprise if Southampton were done there, though, and young Norwich City forward Abu Kamara is reportedly the subject of an incoming formal bid from the south coast club.
Borussia Dortmund striker Youssoufa Moukoko is also a transfer target for the Saints, with Jude Bellingham once saying of him: “I think he’s a really good talent, really promising talent. I think if you meet the boy as well, an excellent boy – very humble, he’s got his feet firmly on the ground, which is the most important thing for a young player.”
