Saints In Chase For Hull City Striker
It is the road to Hull for The Southampton scouting network according to the media and they will have plenty of competition with West Ham, Bournemouth and also Brentford all said to be chasing the same man,
Saints seem to be determined to increase their income from shirt sales by targeting players with double barrelled surnames, we already have JWP and also KWP and now it seems we could get a KLP as the next player with two surnames on his shirt could be Hull’s Keane Lewis-Potter.
The 21 year old is being linked with a number of clubs and it is also interesting to note that Brentford are also in the frame, with Sport Republic’s owners having been involved with the London club up until December it is likely that we now have access to their potential targets identified and this can only be a bonus as some new names may have been added to the existing names under consideration.
West Ham in particular have been looking at the player for a while, with HullLive journalist Baz Cooper confirming on Thursday that David Moyes’ side have been in constant discussions with Hull in regards to Lewis-Potter, but no agreement has been reached.
Brentford allegedly had a £12 million bid turned down in the summer with the Hull owner claiming he will turn down even £30 milllion, but the player is about to enter the last year of his deal and no new deal being agreed, that means his price will drop.
He is undoubtably a talent, but his goal scoring record isn’t great, only 12 goals in 46 Championship appearances this season, however he scooped all the player of the year awards at Hull so perhaps his scoring record doesn’t tell the full story.
