Ex-Saints academy star Jayden Meghoma is in contention for a Russell Martin reunion after his failed Brentford decision last year, and fans say it's karma at play.
There's no denying that the Saints walked away dissatisfied after the Ipswich trip, but the fans would be overwhelmed for one Saint. Obviously, that's been for Jay Robinson as the teenager netted his first goal in the senior setup today.
And what better for an occasion than the Ipswich matchday, where no more than a year ago, another academy star, Dibling, had begun his Saints goal count.
Now, be it Dibling or Robinson, the truth is, fans can never have enough of these wonderkids while they are a part of the Saints setup. And for fair reasons, given for the heartbreaking partings with some special talents in the past.
But while Staplewood has seen innumerable wonderkids pass through, all fans would agree that Jayden Meghoma's exit was the most painstaking one recently. And nothing burdens that sorrow griever than how his career has fared after that goodbye.
Meghoma tipped to reignite career under Russell Martin again
Having changed multiple sceneries within a year, Meghoma's skyrocketing potential took a hard hit last season. Well, and let's just not discuss his progress, as intriguingly, Meghoma may join hands with ex-boss Russell Martin, whom he left last summer for a Premier League opportunity.
Recently, Sky Sports gave the player's update, who is now a serious recruit candidate for Martin at Rangers. Just the twist is, having seen a market value slump after his £10m Brentford move, Meghoma is expected to join his former gaffer on loan.
Now, Saints fans wouldn't want to be disrespectful to the once promising left-back, but the reality is that most of them won't shy away from being content with his sequence of events. After all, having ditched Southampton for a Top Flight move, fate couldn't have put Meghoma in a fairer place than being an optional candidate for ex-boss Martin now.
Interesting, isn't it, how within a matter of hours, Southampton hear of Walker-Peters and Meghoma's subpar situation, consecutively? Surprising for sure, but it explains how there remains an element of karma hidden in the sport.
