Saints Target Undergoing Medical
It is being reported that Basel attacker Mohamed Elyounoussi is this afternoon undergoing a medical and his signing for Saints is imminent.
Southampton are poised to sign FC Basel winger Mohamed Elyounoussi with the Norwegian international undergoing a medical at St Mary's, HITC Sport are reporting that he is in Southampton, quoting sources close to the club.
Saints and and German club Wolfsburg both agreed fees in the region of £17million with Basel for Elyounoussi earlier this week, but the player opted to move to the Premier League and seems to be St Mary's bound.
Elyounoussi scored 13 goals and provided 17 assists in 44 appearances for Basel last season, including a goal and a man-of-the match performance during Basel's 2-1 win over Manchester City in the Champions League in March.
There are those who have been bemoaning Saints lack of ambition of late and a lack of signings, but the sale of Dusan Tadic and replacing him with Elyounoussi seems to be a great piece of business, selling on a player in Tadic who has given us four years good service but will turn 30 soon and replacing him with an exciting young talent who will turn 24 on the eve of the coming Premier league season.
