Saints could be set to land a third player from Chelsea as they make plans for two strikers joining the club in the next few days before the start of the Premier League season,
The first man in since the departure of Danny Ings looks to be Chelsea striker Armando Broja, turning 20 next month he is of Albanian descent although he was born in Slough.
He spent last season on loan with Vitesse Arnhem and scored 10 goals and 2 assists in 30 games in the Eridivisie.
This deal will be a loan move rather than a permanent move, but Saints are also said to be in advanced moves to sign a more experienced striker in a full transfer.
Adam Armstrong of Blackburn is still doing the rounds with the media reporting that Saints have gone in with an improved offer for the Blackburn striker.
The reports say Saints will look to bring two strikers to replace Ings and if they do so it will go a long way to calming down some of the Saints fanbase who are concerned by the lack of goals now Ings is gone. If they were to land both Broja and Armstrong it would potentially be a decent bit of business.
Another linked option is Giorgos Giakoumakis who scored 26 goals for VVV Venlo in Holland last season and would be available for a decent price even though he was the top scorer in the Eridivisie.
Also linked with a loan deal is former Saint Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, the Liverpool midfielder who left Saints in 2011, turns 28 next week and seems to be surplus to requirements as Liverpool look to rebuild their squad to mount another Premier League title challenge.
He is under contract at Anfield until 2023, so a permanent move is unlikely anywhere due to the wages he commands at Liverpool.
