Southampton fans here in the Tavern are hoping that their side can avoid a drop down to the Championship, as errors continue to halt the Saints’ progress.
The Saints have been less than impressive in the current campaign as they continue to flirt with the possibility of relegation to the Championship, with many of our local residents fearing the worst. Although, Mark Hughes will do everything he possibly can to keep them in the top-flight, as one of the Premier League’s most experienced managers.
Indeed, Southampton signed Mario Lemina in the summer transfer window from Italian giants Juventus, and he’s established himself as one of the best midfielders in the top-flight ever since. And, the Saints will be desperate to pull off another piece of brilliance on the transfer front in the summer, as they’ll look to produce a successful season next time out.
Nevertheless, here’s a look at TWO players that can be as good as Mario Lemina next season…
Ryan Shawcross
Ryan Shawcross has been one of the most consistent defenders in the Premier League for some time now, as he continues to grind out world-class performances for the Potters.
Indeed, the Englishman has managed to keep some of England’s best attackers at bay throughout his career, with an accomplished defensive display never too far away.
Therefore, Shawcross can be as good as Lemina if he decides to join in the summer transfer window, with plenty of experience and quality that will be vital to the Saints next season.
Quincy Promes
Quincy Promes has established himself as one of the most exciting prospects in world football, with many of our local residents dreaming of having the Dutch international at St Mary’s.
Indeed, the 26-year-old has produced a heap of goals and assists in the current campaign as Spartak Moscow’s star player, and still has plenty more potential waiting to be unlocked.
Therefore, Promes can be as good as Lemina if the Saints bring him to the south coast in the summer, with goals being a guarantee as a natural-born goalscorer that can cure Southampton’s woes.
