#4 Southampton’s surge

Walcott could save his World Cup dream at Saints

They have £75 million from Virgil van Dijk’s sale burning in their pockets and they are not afraid to spend it, at least that is what could be inferred from the reports.

Theo Walcott’s situation at Arsenal is not nice for a player who wants to be on the plane to Russia next year. As a result, he wants to move out in order to player and Southampton are one of the clubs interested in acquiring him on loan.

And Mauricio Pellegrino has confirmed it.

“I have been talking about him,” he said.

“He is a good player, but I don’t know with the negotiations, with the market. I imagine that this type of player would have a lot of possibility. For us it’s not easy.

“Hopefully we can bring somebody that can help us be stronger. This is our target now.

“We know the market is difficult, but we are working on that.”

Meanwhile, another player they have been linked is Celtic’s Stuart Armstrong and will make a £10 million bid for him, say Sunday Post.
