Saints On Verge Of Completing Transfer Deal For Defender
There is movement in the defensive transfer market for Southampton FC this week with a permanent deal set to be completed in time for the weekend's games.
Will Ferry is set to leave St Mary's and join Cheltenham Town , the 21 year old left sided player who although primarily a left back can also play as a wing back or in midfield has found opportunities to play blocked and is behind Romain Perraud, Kyle Walker Peter's Thierry Small & Jake Vokins in the pecking order at St Mary's
Hence he never managed to play a first team game for Saints, although he did make the bench on 11 occasions in 2020/21 before spending last season on loan at Crawley Town making 37 appearances in League Two.
With a year left on his contract the offer of a move to League One with Cheltenham was a good opportunity.
There is no details of a fee as of yet, although I would suggest it would be minimal but including sell on clauses etc.
What to read next:
Stoke AwaydazeOur visit to Stoke City is on Boxing Day evening, with kick-off at 8pm, having been put back by our very good friends at Sky Sports.
Preston AwaydazeOur visit to Deepdale is on Saturday, with a 12.30pm kick off, and once again we’re live on Sky Sports. As the name Preston North End suggests, the stadium is a mile or so to the north of the town centre.
Leeds ease to comfortable win over DerbyThe game played out as most of the fans on both sides would have predicted, apart from the identity of the two goalscorers. It took a while for us to break down a stubborn Derby County defence, but once we had scored the two goals there was only going to be one way this game was going to finish.
Leeds drawn at home to Harrogate in the FA CupTonight’s draw for the third round of the FA Cup threw up several local derbies, and the most enticing of all must be our all-Yorkshire clash with Harrogate Town, with the two clubs being only 15 miles apart.
Disappointing Leeds go down at BlackburnOur defeat to Blackburn Rovers has caused plenty of moaning on social media, while Daniel Farke has blamed our hectic fixture schedule. But it was a shame the team picked the game with our biggest travelling support of the season to serve up one of their worst away performances.
Blackburn AwaydazeThis season’s trip to Blackburn Rovers is tomorrow with kick-off at 1.30, provided the pitch has dried out enough after last week’s postponement. Once again it looks like we’ll be taking the biggest away following in the Championship this season.
Farke sees room for improvement despite victoryLeeds duly went back to the top of the table with a fairly routine victory over Luton Town, but Daniel Farke thought the win should have been even more emphatic when he spoke to the BBC after the game.
Leeds fighting spirit wins through as we beat Swansea to go topLeeds were twice behind in this incredible game at Swansea City, and then seemed to have victory snatched away right at the death. But each time we fought back and our sheer determination finally secured the victory that we needed to finish the weekend on top of the Championship.
