Keita Baldé (SS Lazio)

Senegalese striker Keita Balde could be the man to help end Southampton’s goal-scoring woes of last season after scoring 16 goals in 21 appearances for Lazio in Serie A, seven more than anyone at Saints.

Watching Keita reminds me of Senegalese international teammate and Ex-Saint Sadio Mané. Baldé is a player who likes to utilize his pace and skills to beat players on long dribbles and on the counter attack, also looking to not just score goals, but create them as well.
