Saints Set To Miss Out On Number 1 Transfer Target !
Theo Walcott looks set to join Everton instead of Saints, Arron Sanders looks at the reasons why he has chose Goodison over St Mary's
Southampton look set to miss out on number one transfer target Theo Walcott after the Daily Mirror reported the Arsenal man was due to have medical on Merseyside today ahead of a £20 million move.
The Toffees are believed to have pipped Saints to their ex academy graduate due to their ability to meet his wage demands, It was reported Saints had hoped to bring back to St Mary's and was their number one target for this transfer window.
Saints were confident of landing the England international but with Everton prepared to spend big, it seems their hopes of appear to have been dashed.
It will come as a bitter blow to Les Reed who I am sure would of seen the signing of a former fans favourite, as an ideal way to lift the mood around the club currently.
With boss Mauricio Pellegrino stating in his post match interview on Saturday, that he was hopeful 1 or 2 targets would come in this week it will be interesting to see if anything materialises within the next few days.
We are now day 16 into this window and fans are starting to worry that the vital reinforcements, needed to save the side from relegation are no where to be seen.
Only the AS Monaco striker Carillo appears to be any where near signing at this moment in time, and the club need to make some head way in their negotiations for targets to stop further discontent amongst the fanbase.
How worried are you by the lack of signings so far saints fans? Are you confident the club will succeed in getting them in before the close of the transfer window?
