Southampton's name was also bounced around Josh Brownhill's rumour mill, but that will remain a weak speculation itself as the attacker has united with Saints flop Wesley Hoedt.
The Championship has eight participants who have fulfilled the three-goal milestone, and now you will have the question spinning in your head as why only three? Scroll down the charts and Ryan Manning patiently spends time as Southampton's best division scorer with two goals.
It needs to be a higher mark, and considering among the newcomers, there is Finn Azaz who aptly handles the task of filling the jar with goals. Hence, he can facilitate a Southampton forward's nomination to roam inside the top five elite list.
The help a team gets with a superstar who smells goals from a yard's length is immense, and Southampton were also plotting a superb offer for a striking machine who goes by the name of Josh Brownhill.
Saints unable to claim €14m asset for free who is Wesley Hoedt's new teammate
Journalist James Savundra opened up on this matter, although Saints fans can pretend that Brownhill was one whom the recruitment chiefs wished for unlike deeming him an urgent help in the team.
Plus, see that Transfermarkt rated him at a €14m valuation and he was roaming around with the free-to-sign tag.
Honestly, he could have prevented the club's extra eight-digit funds from being used with his transfer go-ahead, but in the words of the same man, James Savundra: "Josh Brownhill has agreed to join Al Shabab"
There, Brownhill will play top-flight consistently alongside Southampton flop Wesley Hoedt. The defender last walked past St. Mary's four summers ago, but fans still have vivid defensive bloopers of him that gathered momentum for Saints' Premier League descent.
Can the duo march forward for some trophy challenges in Saudi first-diivision and Asian competitions, let's hold out hope for that.
