Quincy Promes (Spartak Moscow)

Southampton’s pursuit of Promes in January was well publicised but a fee couldn’t be agree with Spartak, and Promes supposedly wanted Saints to be secure in the Premier League before he joined.

It is thought that a fee of £25m-£30m is needed for a deal to go through, and surely the Saints board will be chasing an agreement this summer.

In many ways, he is exactly what Southampton need in their side and have missed since Sadio Mane left. Pace, trickery and unpredictability from Promes from wide has brought great rewards for Spartak.

64 goals and 33 assists in all competitions in 128 games speaks for itself and shows what he would bring to England despite the likely club-record fee.
