Southampton went inquiring about Fotis Ioannidis in depth before fixating on Damion Downs but there is a brilliant Premier League update flowing for him.
Hopping between leagues is proven to be an expensive striker's most daunting mission. Damion Downs didn't set Southampton mega millions back but he is undisputedly the poster-boy of the Saints summer revamp.
With three games flown in a flash, Downs will be asking himself some uncomfortable scoring questions. By chance, if not, then the 21-year-old should go through the long list of goals Southampton fans had prepared for him to go ticking one after the other.
But here, Downs is days away from hitting a full month since his only Saints strike to remember, but hey, July never holds any competitive matches.
Rather, it saw the gigantic United States striker's presentation and also the one's transfer chatter who was turned down for the former.
Old attacking target Ioannidis may see Premier League's shine soon
That was Greece starting attacker Fotis Ioannidis and only one thing can be said looking at him now. Which is Ioannidis' buying valuation might be pausing his summer switch otherwise he is the kind of forward one can't fault for experience.
According to a report from BBC, his talents may have reached the right ears with Premier League-labelled Leeds United in question.
Preserving that label will be Ioannidis' responsibility if he lands there. There are a few top-drawer players who get to the Premier League resolute in shape, speed and in the squad.
And a distinguished few decide on the English top-flight with the campaign underway and still clock up applauding displays knowing they won't compete in the full 38-fixture set.
Is Ioannidis setting his eyes to be called the next one in this space, we have to see.
