Southampton: All the 2020/21 summer transfer links involving Saints

The 2020/21 season will be one that Southampton will be targeting significant progress in after sorting their first-team squad.

Saints did very well to pick up some excellent results during June and July after the Coronavirus suspension and eventually finished 11th and on 52 points in the 2019/20 Premier League standings.

Since then, two signings have arrived in Kyle Walker-Peters and Mohammed Salisu from Spurs and Real Valladolid respectively, whilst former club captain Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has departed.

Further moves can be expected and there have certainly been plenty of players linked with St Mary’s with the gap to the upcoming season getting ever smaller.

Below is a list of all the rumours that have been seen so far, and there certainly have been plenty:
