Southampton signed a couple of gems who are already being lined up for moves by the big boys. And Kalidou Koulibaly’s replacement might need replacing before long…
Five players who signed in summer transfer window already being eyed for next moveWolves’ club-record capture of Nunes was seen as a coup when it was announced back in the summer. The midfielder enjoyed a splendid season with Sporting last term, showcasing many of the No.8 traits that Liverpool and Arsenal were looking for but never found.
Lavia joined Saints from Manchester City in July for a fee of around £12million, which looked a hefty price for a player with only two senior City appearances to his name – one in each of the domestic cup competitions. But City were so reluctant to let him leave that they inserted a buy-back clause in the deal. Which is perhaps why Chelsea felt it necessary to open the bidding high when they tried to buy him on deadline day.
He has made a very positive first impression on Hansi Flick: “He has shown himself very well here, he is very self-confident. The time at Southampton has done him good. The way he plays is also good for us… someone who loves to act defensively, to fight in tackles, to defend the goal. He has very good physical attributes, he is fast and strong in the head. We like that a lot.
“We wanted Kim to be able to play in a good team with a certain continuity, and that team was Napoli,” explained his agent Ho Lee. Upon doing the deal, Lee negotiated a sell-on clause that becomes active next summer, with Manchester United already sniffing. Though it might take more than the £50million it was initially thought would get Kim out of his Napoli contract.Leeds made a few savvy moves in the market this summer.
