Saints Chasing Deadliest Striker In Europe
Saturday, 6th Jun 2015 09:27

Saints are allegedly after the deadliest striker in Europe, although they may have Newcastle United to contend with if they are to sign him.

Wolfsburg striker Bas Dost is statistically the deadliest striker in Europe, his 16 goals were scored with a inversion rate to chances of 41% and this is better than any other striker in Europe, even Chelsea's Diego Costa is nowhere near that with 34.4% and Mess may have scored 43 goals but he needed nearly 4 times as many chances to notch that total.

With Wolfsburg having an abundance of attacking talent Dost was restricted to just 17 starts in the Bundesliga, but when he got a chance he invariably took it.

Now Saints and Newcastle are believed to be interested in signing Dost who by a strange co incidence is believe it or not Dutch and an International to boot.

However what could be the stumbling block is that Wolfsburg after finishing 2nd in the League are now in the Champions League for next season and Dost might prefer a place on Wolfsburg's bench and playing in that competition to moving elsewhere

What age is this guy Nick? Is he a youngster or an elder statesman?

If the rumours about Austin are true, I could see that as more likely to happen as he has PL experience. But then again this guy is Dutch so isn't that now an automatic signing..??

Just turned 26, not a good age to be warming the bench.
We've got the most beautiful striker in Europe so why not pair him with the deadliest.
Grazziano can divert the defences attention with his perfect hair while Bas smacks em in. Would Grazziano get an assist for that?
