Midfielders

Olivier Ntcham, Central-Midfield

Saints will be in need of a replacement for the outgoing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and are rumoured to be interested in Celtic’s dynamic midfield man who could well be a good fit.

James Ward-Prowse, Central-Midfield

Has taken the captain’s armband and continues to thrive in the way that the team are playing at the moment.

Stuart Armstrong, Attacking-Midfield

Not the most tricky of wide-men but his ability to link play in and around the box means he will still be a key player into the next campaign.

Nathan Redmond, Attacking-Midfield

It has been a 2019/20 season of good flashes from Redmond rather than consistent form, but Ralph Hasenhuttl has the ability to bring out the best of him once again.
