Bruma

Linked with Southampton last summer whilst still on the books of Galatasaray, Bruma has enjoyed a fairly tough campaign in Germany since his move to Red Bull Leipzig.

Granted, he’s still found the back four times, but his stock is definitely lower than what it once was when he was linked with giants such as Chelsea.

He could easily be available for a similar fee to what Southampton previously paid for Sofiane Boufal two season ago, which would prove a great bit of investment as he’s also still young at only 23.

Bruma is incredibly pacey and skillful, something the Saints’ current squad greatly lacks – he may not be the best option but he’s definitely one the Southampton board should consider approaching.
