Pione Sisto

Celta Vigo winger Sisto played a part in all four of Denmark’s matches at the World Cup and looked an exciting talent.

According to whoscored.com, he made an average of 2.8 dribbles and 0.5 crosses per game whilst completing 83.8% of his passes.

No goals or assists came for the 23-year-old during the tournament but he contributed well in La Liga in the 2017/18 campaign with five goals and nine assists.

Sisto was mentioned as a target for Saints back in May as they looked for players to provide creativity and unpredictability in attack.

It is believed that Celta Vigo have a release clause inserted in his contract but could prove a problem for Saints to pay at a hefty £36m.
