Sam Gallagher Linked With Move To Wolves
According to latest reports Wolverhampton Wanderers are said to be keen on Saints striker Sam Gallagher.
Wolves want to take Sam Gallagheron loan according to the latest media rumours and to be honest it would probably be a good move for both the player and for Southampton Football Club.
At 20 Gallagher is at an age where he needs to be breaking through to the first team, he did do that 18 months ago when under Mauricio Pochettino he got game time mainly due to the injury to Jay Rodriguez and he showed that he has got something with a couple of goals including one in the Premier league.
However a knee injury kept him out for most of 2014/15 although he did return to score a spectacular winning goal for the Saints U21 side in a televised U21 Premier League cup final.
Although he has featured on this summers pre season tour, the reality is that at the moment his path forward is somewhat blocked with Pelle, Mane, Long, Rodriguez & Juanmi all in front of him and he needs game time.
Now would probably be the right time to put him out on loan to give him that experience and let him learn his trade in a good standard of football but with the option to recall him if neccesary.
Wolves would fit that bill being a decent Championship Club and I hope that these rumours are true and that he get the opportunity to show what his potential is.
