Nathan Redmond Could Be Off To Turkey
The transfer window might be slammed shut in the UK, but the window in Turkey doesn't shut until this Thursday and there comes news of interest in Istanbul of taking Nathan Redmond on loan .
According to media sources in Turkey, Istanbul club BeÅŸiktaÅŸ are interested in taking Nathan Redmond on loan and although English clubs can't sign anymore players with the window in the UK now closed, they can transfer out players to countries where their transfer window is open.
According to journalist Sercan Dikme, Turkish giants Besiktas have opened negotiations with Southampton over a possible loan move for winger Nathan Redmond, it has become clear during the pre season and now after signing two wide players on the final day of the transfer window, that Ralph Hasenhuttl doesn't consider Redmond to be part of his plans going forward.
Some would be glad to see Redmond leave St Mary's, but I think during his 6 years at the club he has been a better player than some have given him credit for, when he has been out of favour he has knuckled down and got back in the team and he has scored some vital goals , not least the only goal in the League Cup Semi Final first leg against Liverpool at St Mary's that gave us something to defend in the second leg at Anfield.
Ironically with the departure of Oriol Romeu, Shane Long & Fraser Forster plus Jack Stephens on loan to Bournemouth, Redmond alongside James Ward Prowse are currently the only members of the 18 man squad on duty at Wembley for the final .
