Saints fans will be excited to hear that their club is being reported as being in talks with Chelsea for winger Callum Hudson-Odoi, this could be an exciting signing for the team if it comes off.

Media sources are saying that Southampton have approached Chelsea about taking Hudson-Odoi on loan for a season journalist Fabrizio Romano had this to say on his twitter account.

“Excl: Callum Hudson-Odoi could now leave Chelsea for regular game time. Southampton have already asked for CHO on loan, now pushing.”

Saint4Life247 added 13:57 - Aug 8 Get him in asap... Also, after the Spurs game we have got to be battling Everton for Connor Coady (or similar) haven't we?.... I'm surprised nothing has happened regards Liam Delap. Dembele or Sasa Kalajdzic would be worth a punt too

darkangelv2 added 13:59 - Aug 8 As a loan, what's the worst that could happen? He may have 'stuttered' vs expectation @ Chelsea but you'd think he'd be our best attacking prospect by a mile if we got him. Would love to see it

AmericanSaint added 14:11 - Aug 8 Never going to happen sadly as he will see us as a major step down. People are looking at us and shaking their head. This is the problem with no real money invested and only young players being purchased. Too many questions.

Fairweather_Fan added 14:12 - Aug 8 Are we going to dump the 3 CB formation and start playing with wingers again then?

Dingbar1 added 14:22 - Aug 8 Don't sell Che Adams, just Theo Walcott & Jan Bednarek to raise cash, then go for Broja & CHO

Boris1977 added 14:47 - Aug 8 Fairweather, there isn't a plan just the usual schlep to the next tired hopeless experiment. Why wasn't key business concluded before the season started? Is che Adams leaving now too? The club are in deep disarray.

saint_ben added 15:26 - Aug 8 No chance of us getting Odoi as AmericanSaint has said. For starters I just do not see him wanting to join us over Leicester and Newcastle, but also I hear he is talking with Dortmund again so it will never happen

Colburn added 15:29 - Aug 8 Leicester and Dortmund also interested, apparently already started talks with Dortmund, guess we're third choice then! Fingers crossed tho, he's a cut above the others we have.

saintmark1976 added 15:30 - Aug 8 So, when for goodness knows how long when every man and his dog can see that we are in desperate need of an experienced centre half and a centre forward,we appear to be possibly interested in obtaining the services of a winger. Sums up the club’s current owners and management in a nut shell.

SanMarco added 18:56 - Aug 8 Won't happen for the reasons the comrades above state. My fear is that things are so dire that we will end up with last minute overspends on people no better than what we have got. All of this should have been done already and it hasn't been.

Block8 added 20:06 - Aug 8 I think we should be concentrating on signing the one or two players that might help us stay up!

stmichael added 00:04 - Aug 9 A fcuking ridiculous wage of Limited resources.. No other way to describe it will solve nothing..

SaintPaulVW added 07:31 - Aug 9 We need a CB and a main striker. This is just a distraction.

WestSussexSaint added 08:09 - Aug 9 As others have mentioned, while CHO is better than what we have I don’t see how he fits our current formation unless Ralph plans to play him at wing back. The priority is an experienced CB and a goal scoring striker.

NewburySaint added 15:10 - Aug 9 Not the type of player we require as we’re more desperate / short in other areas.
