Southampton were associated with faint Frank Lampard speculations in May, but the latter can be seen at West Ham in the future. However, Saints will want this potential transfer link to fulfill as soon as possible.
Mateus Fernandes used to be on Southampton's roster ten days ago, and in a third of month his move has changed the trajectories of the Saints and his present team. The former is eyeing a first win without the Portuguese but West Ham are upgrading from their shabby phase with the 21-year-old's genius.
Mateus didn't lob any goals nor brought any scoring contributions in his first Hammers outing, but Saints fans can't be swayed away from one coincidence.
The past Saints players' advantage, as the Premier League side hadn't tried out both Fernandes as well as Walker-Peters for their starting berth until their recent matchday but jogged to a victory when they did.
Thus, they might be smelling positives in the idea of hiring transfer targets whom Southampton may have envisioned for their squad at some point of time.
Lampard vacating the Championship is positive speculation for Southampton
Someone like Frank Lampard who felt well acknowledged by Southampton rumours in the past, and instating him at St. Mary's will be an avid dream of the fanbase although nobody will want that to happen before Will Still's term ends.
According to a Football Insider report, Lampard might manage a second team in the current season which can unsurprisingly be West Ham.
In all honesty, Lampard might be the most desirable Championship coach out there. After all, netting in double digits in four games can test the temptation of every manager-needing team.
Precisely, his Coventry have outscored Southampton by more than twice, hence, the Saints can gain some elbow room in the second division's top-6 race without the former midfielder. A Lampard departure until January can boost the Saints' top-table rise, later there will be less advantages on the league side of things.
