Southampton Transfers: 5 More Players Who Could Leave (And 5 Who Could Join)
1. Morgan Schneiderlin
The most damaging departure of Southampton's summer may be yet to come. Alongside Adam Lallana, Schneiderlin has been the most consistently excellent performer through the years of relative stability that have seen the club rise to their current position. Schneiderlin's quality in the centre of the park is at the heart of Saints' style of play, but has also raised his profile enough that the French international has his eyes on bigger things. Essentially sidelined while he tries to press for a transfer, Schneiderlin has long been admired by Arsenal's Arsene Wenger, but now looks to move to their North London rivals Tottenham following former manager Pochettino's switch to White Hart Lane. Southampton have stated that Schneiderlin will set any buying club back £27 million, but it's hard to believe that he will play for Saints again after his recent twitter outburst. So, that's the bad news for Saints fans. Now let's look at five new faces that could plug the gaps in new boss Ronald Koeman's slender squad.
