# Southampton: Saints want Thomas Delaney

**According to Sky Germany ([via fotbolltransfers.com](https://fotbolltransfers.com/site/news/140653)), Southampton are interested in signing Thomas Delaney from Borussia Dortmund this summer.**

### **The Lowdown: Saints preparing for new season**

The Saints went through a mixed campaign last term, finishing in 15th place in the Premier League table but also reaching an F.A Cup semi-final.

Ralph Hasenhuttl will be demanding a lot more from his players next term, and he will no doubt want to bring in some fresh faces as well.

### **The Latest: Saints eye Delaney**

Now, it is being reported that the Saints are keen on Dortmund midfielder Delaney.

Norwich City and Crystal Palace are two of the other sides also interested in his services.

### **The Verdict: Top quality**

Signing Delaney would be a statement of intent from Hasenhuttl and co. In three seasons with Die Schwarzgelben, he has 86 appearances, with 15 of them coming at the highest level – the Champions League ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/thomas-delaney/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/91849)).

He also has 58 caps for Denmark, and he has appeared in every game at Euro 2020 for his country – he was hailed as “very important” by former Dortmund boss Edin Terzic earlier this year ([bvbbuzz.com](https://bvbbuzz.com/2021/01/08/edin-terzic-hails-thomas-delaney-borussia-dortmund/)).

Valued at £13.5m ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/thomas-delaney/marktwertverlauf/spieler/91849)), it is unclear exactly how much he would set the St. Mary’s Stadium outfit back, but he would no doubt be a top signing for Southampton. It remains to be seen whether they can win the race to sign him.
