Ben Brereton Diaz is often a sidelined fixture in Southampton's Championship picture, and now a team buying a couple of Saints targets is being hopeful for Diaz.
Southampton had three goals worth of hardwork to show for while mustering an Ipswich comeback point to the casually fumbled one in front of Watford. Yet, not even three points could be totalled from these alternate games.
The Saints have now spent their August dividing the league table rather than speeding up their ascent to the top of the standings chart. Consequently, they are more closer to struggle-stricken teams like Derby County than the ones they hunted for talent.
That doesn't imply, Derby haven't given any transfer planning fatigues to Southampton. During July, they sensed the Saints' noisy footsteps coming towards Bobby Clark and covered the finishing line before the former could notice.
Then, they made Max Johnston approve of their sporting vision and Southampton fans will wish to ask their fanbase how they played it smartly, when the two outfits will clash.
Saints will like this Derby County target after two shortlisted names raided
To follow those two moves, Derby are touted to tie down a deal for a sidelined Southampton man.
Going by a report from the Football League World, he is Ben Brereton Diaz who has turned appreciative eyes among the Derby chiefs.
It's a speculation fall-off for Diaz who has dwindled down Sheffield United's wishlist but there could be some long-term scouting done for him at Derby County. Their current gaffer John Eustace had led Blackburn during the previous year, and there they may have fancied Diaz's return quite regularly.
Who will be more daring to give the 25-year-old consistent training runs on their playground for atleast the next nine months, that should hopefully be clear after a chunk of hours.
