Wrexham's £10m recruit of Nathan Broadhead from Ipswich Town has Saints fans expecting the latter to explore Jesurun Rak-Sakyi's transfer, whom Saints couldn't sign themselves.
Let's be honest, all Saints fans' excitement has taken a hit as they know of the recent Championship matchday forecast. And though not a firm believer in predictions, they fear what if last weekend's Wrexham situation reemerges, without the tinge of a late Saints' win.
But while that Wrexham game ignited scares coming as a surprise, what had a greater impact on the Saints was how they desperately watched their pre-match Kieffer Moorefears turn exactly true.
Well, it's a new jitter prevailing for the game against Ipswich, but intriguingly, it's Wrexham again, whose actions have all the Saints fans' eyeballs.
Recently, the consecutive promotion winners broke the bank, adding Ipswich star Nathan Broadhead in a record £10m deal to get back to their usual winning ways after the season opener defeat. And while a self-serving, ambitious move, Southampton fans foresee this swoop igniting Ipswich's interest in their long-held transfer interest.
Ipswich tipped to defeat Saints and Russell Martin to Rak-Sakyi's signing
According to the Football League World, the transfer target concerned is Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, a name whom even Saints fans would have grown bored listening to.
Now, I know your reaction, Saints fans, as no updates on Rak-Sakyi's case may have had you arrive at the self-judgement of Rangers having closed down his deal. But strangely, with the Scottish side trapped within their Premiership difficulties, and Southampton busy in their departure business, the Rak-Sakyi saga still seeks an end.
Well, and now Ipswich have a near open run to outplay Southampton and their former gaffer, Russell Martin, to the winger's signing. And the club's more than enough transfer war chest, from Broadhead and Omari Hutchinson's sale, leave it hardly surprising if they put their forward departure frustrations to Rak-Sakyi's deal.
Now, it's self-explanatory that even if Ipswich materialises its interest at the earliest, they are bound to face Southampton without Rak-sakyi today. Yet, though a short-term relief, this should have the Saints ready for what may be put against them the next time they face Ipswich in a more decisive Championship matchday.
