Southampton Transfers: 10 Players To Buy This Summer

10. Javier Hernandez

With the inevitable loss of Osvaldo, Southampton will undoubtedly be needing another forward for the 2014-15 campaign with Academy graduate Sam Gallagher the only back up currently available. Meanwhile current first choice centre forward Rickie Lambert has given the club five years of great service but isn't getting any younger. It would not be a complete surprise if Saints accept West Ham's rumoured £7 million interest in the England international. Man United's Mexican star Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez is widely known to be looking for a new club in the summer after being unhappy with the lack of first team opportunities at Old Trafford. Hernandez is a proven goalscorer both in the Premier League and internationally, but realistically will have to step down a level to get a certain starting place. With Saints likely to finish only a position or two below United, a move to St. Mary's may not be much of a step down at all. Rumour suggests Inter as the Little Pea's eventual destination, but the Milan giants are also a possible option for Osvaldo. If Saints can engineer a move to the Nerazzurri for the latter then Hernandez may have to reassess his options.
