Mateus Uribe

A report from Colombian outlet Alargue Caracol has suggested Uribe as a target for Saints in this window and states that they are ready to make an $25m offer to his club Club America in Mexico.

It seems a strange link to be made with Southampton’s midfield arguably their strongest area and not in need of much strengthening.

What he would add is goals from a central area.11 goals in all competitions for his club side hints at an ability to drive forward and join attacks.

The Colombian international is currently with his country at the World Cup in Russia ahead of thier first game at the tournament versus Maya Yoshida’s Japan on June 19th.
