Should Saints Sign Ex Loanee

Saints fans will have to Google the name Iago Falque as his loan time at St Mary's was short and unimpressive, but he is making a name for himself now.

Iago Falque, 28, spent the second half of the 2011/12 season on loan at Saints from Tottenham, appearing just once as we headed for promotion from the Championship, that game being a 2-0 home defeat to Leicester City, however after leaving Spurs his career has taken off in the last few seasons after moving to Italy.

He has spent the last two seasons at Torino scoring 12 series A goals in each of them with the same number of assist and he is now hot property in Italy.

According to ItaSportPress, Valencia and Atalanta are both in the hunt to sign the attacker, who has also been on the books of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus in his career.

It is understood that Torino value him at £13.2million, a fee that that is very affordable in today's market and the Italian press are speculating that a return to England could be on the cards with Saints an easy suggested destination.

At this time of year there are numerous links being made, this one is not high on the accuracy scales but is an interesting one nonetheless.
