Southampton consider gambling on talented West Ham forward
After a deal for Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow fell apart due to a failed medical, Southampton pivoted to a more expensive signing, bringing in former Arsenal starter Aaron Ramsdale to be their next keeper.
Southampton are trying to make assorted upgrades to their squad in the final days of the summer 2024 transfer window, because the last thing they want is to fall back to the Championship after climbing to the Premier League again.
The Saints would like to acquire a little more attacking juice, and they have found a potential bargain option from another Premier League side in West Ham United.
According to a report from the Telegraph's Mike McGrath, Southampton are considering a transfer for 27-year-old West Ham left winger Maxwel Cornet ahead of Friday's deadline.
