Gardos Reported As Having Medical At Saints Today
Steau Bucharest central defender Florin Gardos is having a medical today with Saints according to Sky Sports news.
Gardos who stands at 6ft 4 1/2 according to the stats available on him seems about to join Saints from the Romanian club who of course we all remember from knocking us out in the then Uefa Cup back in 2003, Gardos would have been only around 14 back then and joined Steau in 2010 and has played amost 100 games for the club since mainly in a central defensive role but he can also operate as a holding midfielder.
He won his first cap for Romania in 2011 and has since won 12 caps for his country.
Gardos seems a strange choice for Saints who have been linked with several other more high profile central defenders of late and it could be that he will not be the only centre half to arrive in the next few weeks to give extra competition in an area where we have been week for several seasons now if he passes his medical its believed Saints will pay around £4.8 million for his services
Only stumbling block seems to be whether he is carrying an injury or not with some Romanian sources quoting that he picked up a muscle tear in pre season and Steau did not diagnose it correctly and he needs a few weeks rest before being fully fit.
