Southampton's next transfer material labelled candidate is Elias Jelert who has carved a reputation for successfully filling Bayern star Sacha Boey's void.
If we quiz a Southampton fan as to which job is most difficult among the board stamping upon new recruitments or the fans verbally recapping every addition made, then no doubt the needle will fall on the second.
And it only gets harder from here during estimating what more roles need to be forged with first-team quality or backups quantity. Ideally, the two must be combined if the purse has no problems.
Well, the Saints are some fortuitous bunch in this area, and their next transfer appetite is definitely noteworthy.
In an update from Alfie House, Galatasaray defender Elias Jelert is the current transfer material the management is keeping a check on.
Jelert addressed Boey's talent gap well and Saints must gather confidence knowing that
Breaking down Jelert's responsibilities, they have surrounded around stabilising the Turkish outfit's right-sided defensive piece. However, the 22-year-old alone knows how challenging it was for him to empower that flank which was set on the back foot when Bayern Munich motivated Galatasaray to join the transfer table.
The talked incident took place in 2024, with the Germans forking out €30m for Sacha Boey and leaving their Turkish counterparts needing a reliable defensive hand in Jelert. The latter went putting as many fixture shifts as his predecessor was completing, and even mirrored many title wins as Boey.
Hence, providing strength to Southampton's backline can't be an upper lying quest than replacing someone of Bayern Munich's pedigree. Apart from the playing factors, it's up to be seen whether the Saints can drive the demanded fee miles down the €30m Galatasaray received earlier.
Can some talents be offered for a bargain, let's be calm until tomorrow to find out.
