Saints Linked With Ivory Coast Winger
Saints are being linked with Abdul Kader Keita who is being quoted as saying that his agent is lining up a deal with a Premier League Club.
The 31 year old winger has recently departed from his Quatari club Al Saad and is a free agent, in truth the player had not had that great a career until four seasons in France with firstly Lille & then a 18 million euro move to Lyon in 2007saw his profile increase earning him a move to Galatasaray for 2009/10 season.
After one season in Turkey where he played 27 games scoring 5 goals he returned to former club Al Saad for 8.5 million euros in 2010 although his second season doesnt appear to be too much of a success and he spent some of it out on loan.
Now a free agent he is looking to play in the premier League despite offers from French clubs but Keita who can also play as a striker as well as on the wing would prefer England.
However saints are alledgedly not alone in their persuit of the man from the Ivory Coast who has played over 70 games for his country with Sunderland, QPR and West Brom all linked with a move for him, as the player is out of contract it could be that if Saints sign him he could be available immediately, although at time of wrinting this was unclear.
