Saints Linked With New Record Signing ! If They Stay Up !
According to press reports Saints are planning to revamp their squad and when and if safety is assured they will break their transfer record.
Saints are being linked with a £20 million move for Celta Vigo's Pione Sisto, the wide man came to the club's attention a couple of seasons ago when he played in both games in the Europa League for FC Midtjylland when they knocked Saints out.
Saints monitored the player but chose not to make a move when the player moved from Denmark to Spain to join Celta Vigo in the summer of 2016 for 5 million euros.
Saints are of course hampered in any negotiations at the moment in that what division they will be playing in is unclear and until their fate is sorted they can't plan changes to the playing squad.
But rumours of this sort are commonplace at this time of year as agents look to get their clients into the marketplace and alert club's to the fact that they might be available.
Personally I would rather see us linked to a decent central defender than more attacking players.

Leeds get back on track against woeful Cardiff After last week’s defeat, Daniel Farke must have been thankful that the fixture list gave us the division’s bottom team as our next opponents. But although we got the win we needed, it was against a desperately poor Cardiff City who had to play with ten men for over an hour, and somehow it felt strangely unconvincing.
Cardiff AwaydazeThis season’s visit to Cardiff City is on Saturday with a 3pm kick-off, and you’ll find their current stadium to the west of the city centre, only a quarter of a mile from their former home at Ninian Park.
Leeds suffer frustrating defeat at the hands of BurnleyOnce again Leeds dominated the possession but couldn’t find their way past a determined and well-organised defence. So it was Burnley who took the points after taking advantage of one of the few occasions when they were able to break downfield.
Leeds pay tribute to former captain Sol BambaSol Bamba passed away on Saturday at the tragically early age of 39. The tribute on the club’s official website was one of many, as the football world paid it’s respects to a defender who was highly regarded by everyone in the game who came into contact with him.
Patience Pays off as Solomon signs for LeedsAs Manor Solomon joined us on a season-long loan from Tottenham Hotspur, the club were quick to justify their approach to the transfer market when they announced the news on the official website.
Sheffield Wednesday AwaydazeThis season’s visit to Sheffield Wednesday is at 8pm on Friday and once again this fixture is live on Sky Sports. We’re not famous any more! The only surprise is that the police allowed an evening kick-off instead of insisting on Saturday lunchtime.
