Saints still just about have time to complete some last-gasp business in the summer transfer window, with New England Revolution teenager Noel Buck one reported target for them before the cutoff on Friday night. The 19-year-old would be considered one for the future for Russell Martin, but also a good squad player who can add depth straight away, in order to give his side the best possible chance of avoiding relegation from the Premier League straight back down to the Championship.
The biggest news for Southampton on deadline day has been the signing of Aaron Ramsdale from Arsenal, however, with the Englishman completing a £25m move to St Mary’s Stadium. It has been made clear that he is second-choice to David Raya at the Emirates, so he is no doubt excited to be a regular starter again, while Martin will no doubt be delighted to bring in an established international player.

The New England Revolution kid Noel Buck is one last-minute target the Saints are reportedly considering before the deadline on Friday night. The Saints have just about enough time left in the summer transfer window to finish some last-minute business. Russell Martin views the 19-year-old as a player for the future, but he’s also a solid squad member who can provide depth right immediately, giving his team the best chance to avoid dropping back into the Championship after being demoted from the Premier League.
The most significant development for Southampton on deadline day was the arrival of Aaron Ramsdale from Arsenal, an Englishman who signed a £25 million deal to play at St Mary’s Stadium. He is obviously happy to be a regular starter again, as David Raya is clearly the first choice at the Emirates, and Martin will undoubtedly be happy to have an accomplished international player back.
A noteworthy development has surfaced concerning the status of Saints’ efforts to finalize the signing of Maxwel Cornet from West Ham.
Dharmesh Sheth Cornet, a Sky Sports reporter, is reportedly close to signing a loan move to St Mary’s and will soon be going through a medical at Southampton.It is known that Maxwel Cornet is going to Southampton for a medical examination. They are pressing to sign him from West Ham on a season-long loan.”
Despite an ultimately disappointing tenure as a West Ham player, Cornet may be a great temporary addition for Southampton.In his 37 Hammers games, he has only managed one goal (albeit he has at least six assists), and he might be snatching at the chance to play a bigger role for Saints.
The 27-year-old Ivory Coast international, who earns £65,000 per week, has already scored six goals for his nation. Pep Guardiola, who watched him play for Lyon in a Champions League match against Manchester City, once declared that he was “very impressed” with the player.
As previously stated, Southampton needs depth badly, particularly as the season wears on players’ bodies and minds. Cornet, who often prefers to play on the left side, could bring a great deal of skill to wide attacking areas.
Having said that, the Ivorian can also play left-back, right, or in a center offensive position, demonstrating the variety of options he can offer Martin. It seems like a no-brainer of a signing, and if he performs well for Saints, his loan swap might even become permanent the following summer.

ornet from West Ham and now a significant update has emerged regarding the situation.
According to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth Cornet is now set to undergo a medical at Southampton, as he closes in on a loan move to St Mary’s: “Maxwel Cornet is understood to be travelling to Southampton for a medical. They are pushing to sign him on a season-long loan from West Ham.”
Cornet could be a brilliant temporary signing for Southampton, even though his time as a West Ham player has ultimately been a little underwhelming. Only one goal has come his way in 37 appearances for the Hammers – he has at least registered six assists, though – and he could be jumping at the opportunity to be a more important player for Saints.
Still only 27 years of age, the £65,000-a-week Ivory Coast international has scored six times for his country, while none other than Pep Guardiola once admitted that he was “very impressed” with him as a player, having come up against him for Lyon in a Champions League clash with his Manchester City side.
As mentioned, depth is so important for Southampton, especially as legs and minds tire as the season goes on, and Cornet could add so much quality in wide attacking areas, usually preferring to take up a left-sided role.
That being said, the Ivorian is also adept at playing on the right and in a central attacking berth, while he can even play at left-back too, showing the options he can provide Martin with. It feels like a no-brainer of a signing, and his loan switch could even be made permanent next summer if he shines for Saints.
