What do Southampton do with Jordy Clasie?
The 27-year-old has been a flop at St. Mary's and they now seem to be having quite the dilemma with trying to offload him permanently.
Having had him on their books since 2015, though, you would think that the south coast club would not want to pay any more money given his failure.
Bearing that in mind, a sell to another club may be the best option here. That, however, could prove problematic, with the same report stating Clasie is determined to continue in Dutch football and will not consider anything else.
Frustrating from Southampton's point of view? Probably. It has severely limited the amount of potential suitors. The Premier League outfit, however, should not be surprised.
As well as the Netherlands being his native country, of course, the Eredivisie is where he has played his best football. You only have to look at his time in England to know that.
Last season, the defensive midfielder averaged 2.6 tackles per game for Feyenoord, which is vastly more than the 1.1 he was making at Southampton back in the 2016/17 campaign.
In Dutch football's top flight, Clasie has also proven to be way more of a creative force. He made 0.9 key passes per game and averaged 67.6 passes overall. In contrast, at Southampton, his numbers for both those passing areas were 0.3 and 38.9 (as per WhoScored).
Quite clearly, the Eredivisie is where the Netherlands international has been able to express himself best; it is his comfort zone.
Based on that, Southampton should not be surprised that they have been left in a position where they can only send him to one place this summer.
