Exciting Eze arriving?

Eberechi Eze is one of the Championship’s outstanding talents and the Sun (via HITC) report that Saints are interested in securing his services.

Playing from a central or left midfield role most often this season, the QPR and England Under-21 star has scored 10 goals and provided six assists in 27 appearances.

The Sun report that Eze has a £20m price tag on his head and that Sheffield United are also looking to secure his signature – whilst a host of other clubs are surely also watching closely.

Whilst Saints have some exciting attacking players in their squad already, a player who can provide the skill and creativity from the centre of the pitch may be needed.
