Saints Said To Have Agreed Deal For Striker From Belgium

The transfer rumour mill is turning and it seems that Southampton could well be making a few moves and one that seems to look likely is for Victor Udoh from Royal Antwerp, a deal that could see Cameron Archer moving out on loan.

givemesport.com are reporting that Saints have agreed a deal with Royal Antwerp for 20 year old winger Victor Udoh.

Like the potential signing of Abakar Sylla, I am not sure what we are trying to achieve here, it seems that Ivan Juric has already decided who is surplus to requirements to his plans going forward, Flynn Downes, Cameron Archer & Sam Amo-Ameyaw all out of favour with Juric.

So I am not sure why we are just trying to move the traffic cones around here, it is claimed that if Saints get Udoh then Cameron Archer will move to Leeds united, I am assuming that all of these are loan deals,

But personally I would prefer Archer & Amo-Ameyaw at the club, proven players in the English game, than either Sylla & now Udoh.

Udoh has not played much for Royal Antwerp and is described on transfermarkt.com as a left winger, rather than a striker as he is being reported in the transfer reports.

So none of the moves so far that have been mooted on this final day of the transfer window, fill me with much hope.

We have plenty of wingers, both young and experienced, plenty of strikers and plenty of central defenders at the club, what we need is an experienced central defender and players who know what is needed in the Premier league, not a couple of kids who can't even get in their current clubs starting XI.

He has played just 12 times for Royal Antwerp in the Jupilo League with just 76 minutes on the pitch over those games, his longest time was 13 minutes, 6 were 5 minutes or less, hardly the stats that you want to read.
