Saints are believed to be about o make a move for free agent Ron Vlaar to replace the departed Toby Alderweireld for next season.
Saints are believed to be about to open negotiations with Ron Vlaar after missing out on former hero and now zero Toby Alderweireld.
Vlaar is of course out of contract and has left Aston Villas would be a good and cheap option for Saints,
Saints fans will be. Little worried though given Vlaar's performance at St Mary's couple of months ago but they should remember the player had had a very stop start season through injury and was in a side that only a week or to earlier had looked certs for relegation.
But Ronald Koeman had tried to sign Vlaar last summer after his great performance for Holland in the 2014 World Cup, good players do not become bad ones over night and Vlaar could bring experience and stability to the Saints defence to help them adjust to a tough season in four competitions.
Ronald Koeman knows Vlaar well from their time at Feyenoord together and will know what the man can bring to the table, it would also free up more money to be spent elsewhere.
If Saints land Vlaar it wont be a long tern signing but it coulda a crucial one in the hot term.
