Southampton have found a pressure-proof playmaker Leo Scienza, who dropped in with timely European performances for Heidenheim.
This ongoing Championship gameweek has had many final minute strikes, and the chilling part is there can be atleast one apiece in the two remaining matches. And Saints, Birmingham also produced a sublime injury time display like us so, the onus is back on Southampton to reclaim the comeback champs tag.
Being real, every one of us would want this late night fixture to play out smoothly, but wisdom advises to plan ahead of the storm. Are the Saints laced with pressure-proof players all around?
Notably, the frontmen as an empty roar against Ipswich Town while wandering around the box will give Will Still every right to throw in the towel. And then, remain rigid on utilizing the least forwards he can for some time.
Touchwood, but squad stand-offs are never healthy and instead solutions are required to elevate attacking contributions.
Leo Scienza is one big-game attitude but lesser known star and right now, Southampton are keeping a shrewd eye on him. In the words of Florian Plettenberg: "FC Southampton are trying to sign Leo Scienza before Deadline Day. There is contact underway."
Scienza can be Will Still's preferred ace in make-or-break situations
Now, what makes Leo special is he gets his Heidenheim fans on their feet everytime he comes in to take matters into his hands.
He curled in a crucial free-kick in Bundesliga to make the other two goals meaningful in a six goal stalemate. Then, Scienza rescued and extended the German outfit's Conference League campaign but they were sent out later in the same night.
Add him to this Southampton roster, and Still as well as the fans will get more clarity on whom to seek for the final fifteen deciding minutes.
In all honesty, Saints noticed another Scienza-like talent in Carlos Vicente and subsequently, getting the green light on this move can again be tricky.
