Norwich City Transfers: 5 Central Defenders To Partner Sebastien Bassong

3. Jose Fonte (Southampton)

Southampton have been enjoying a great season in the league, but that may yet all be spoiled by issues away from the football field. All of which, seems to have come to a head this month with the news that Nicola Cortese resigned, and that a training group incident between Dani Osvaldo and Jose Fonte had occurred. Other clubs like Norwich may look to take advantage of all in this in what remains on the January transfer window. As we shift the focus back to events on the pitch, it€™s clear that 30-year-old defender Fonte has been a big part of what has been one of the tightest defences in the league. We like to talk about the Saints from the point of view of the style of football they play, but their defensive record has also played a big part in their success after conceding only 27 goals from their 23 games. Stats on Fonte have included 2 tackles, 1.7 interceptions and 8.1 clearances per match; he has also scored two goals and managed an average rating of 7.27.
