Should Southampton go back in for this Premier League striker in January?

Southampton won 4-1 against Queens Park Rangers without a single striker in the team picking up a goal.

Lewis Dobbin did have one effort find the back of the net, but it was cruelly ruled out, due to an offside in the build-up.

Thankfully, Dobbin's poor luck didn't harm the Saints, as Kuryu Matsuki, Cameron Bragg, Keven Schlotterbeck, and Welington shared out the goals during the emphatic victory.

The Saints are coping well at the moment with their striker difficulties, with Cyle Larin also nowhere to be found in the starting XI for this showdown with the R's due to injury.

But, there must be a temptation on the end of Tonda Eckert to perhaps look for a fresh striker in the transfer market in January, with Dobbin so hit-and-miss, and Larin becoming injury-prone.

Could the promotion hopefuls potentially revisit a move for this Premier League striker when the window reopens?

Could the Saints revisit this move?

Football League World have raised the possibility that Eckert and Co. could go back in for Daniel Jebbison in January.

In the summer, the AFC Bournemouth forward was tentatively linked with a move across the South Coast, with Wrexham and Birmingham City the other two Championship clubs mentioned who were sniffing around for Jebbison back in August.

With Southampton not have plentiful striker options at the moment, with Divin Mubama maybe heading back to Manchester City mid-season after a lacklustre loan spell to date, a move could accelerate back into motion.

His numbers at a first initial glance aren't crazy, with only seven Championship goals collected across his stop-start career to date.

But, the Canadian could well be a decent back-up option on loan, as six of those second tier strikes would come about last season when he was out loan at Preston North End, when he made just 22 starts.

He has even been utilised sparingly in the Premier League this season by Marco Rose, but he would love to get stuck in again in the Championship, with the Saints potentially offering him that route back into the challenging division.

If there is one key position that Southampton would love to strengthen in in during the chaos of January, it is the centre-forward department, with another striker allegedly on their radar, from the Premier League no less.

He isn't the only striker from the Premier League they could target

Indeed, the off-season also saw them be linked with Leeds United striker Lukas Nmecha.

He would be another solid addition to strengthen the forward ranks, as he scored an electric six top-flight goals last season for the Whites, from only 1092 minutes of action.

He doesn't have any Championship experience to his name, but it surely wouldn't take him much time to acclimatise, having taken to the frightening Premier League comfortably.

There were also murmurs of Petar Ratkov joining Eckert's ranks, but surely that ship has sailed on the Serbian, as he is currently out on loan in Spain with Levante.

Realistically, a move for a player like Jebbison does make sense, as he is already close by to St. Mary's geographically, so it wouldn't be a major upheaval mid-way through the campaign.

Moreover, he did score six Championship goals just last season, so he would be a great teammate for the likes of Dobbin and Larin to bounce off of up top.

It remains to be seen what business is done in January, but expect plenty of rumours to pop up now, as we head into November.
