# Southampton: Sky Sports share big Bazunu update

**Sharing some live-on-air transfer news out of[Southampton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/southampton-fc-news/), Sky Sports have a major update for supporters involving Man City goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu.**

### The Lowdown: Saints eye move…

Recent reports have suggested that Ralph Hasenhuttl and co are edging nearer the Republic of Ireland international who [dazzled on loan at Portsmouth](https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/20197682.portsmouth-boss-labels-imminent-southampton-signing-world-class/) from the Sky Blues over 2021/2022.

Bazunu is arguably one of the most promising up-and-coming keepers in the country right now, prompting real interest from the Saints and transfer chief Martin Semmens.

Both Ederson and USA international Zack Steffen are ahead of the 20-year-old in Pep Guardiola’s goalkeeping pecking order, potentially opening the door for Southampton as Bazunu seeks more playing time.

According to Sky Sports, sharing news on live TV (via[Football Daily](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1534855915706392578)), Hasenhuttl is now ‘on the verge’ of completing a deal for the shot-stopper.

They add that the deal could be worth up to £15 million as Southampton look to bolster their goalkeeping department.

### The Verdict: Great news…

Bazunu comes with an already-glowing reputation and has been hailed as ‘[world class](https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/20197682.portsmouth-boss-labels-imminent-southampton-signing-world-class/)‘ for his performances on a temporary spell at Fratton Park.

Signing the starlet will come as a very shrewd bit of business for Southampton, especially for £15m, as the City man potentially looks ahead to many fine seasons between the sticks at such a young age.

Portsmouth manager Danny Cowley [predicted](https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/20197682.portsmouth-boss-labels-imminent-southampton-signing-world-class/) that Bazunu would become a [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) keeper and it appears he has been proven right.
