Southampton have been looking to make a strong start to the next season and are looking to bring in a number of new players into their lineup for the next season. The Saints did not have a good season in terms of player fitness, with a number of their key players plagued by injuries and compelled to miss a chunk of the season.
Southampton, who missed out on the chance to finish the last season in the top six on the Premier League table, are looking to bring in players who can help the squad perform well in the next season. Mauricio Pellegrino, the new manager of the Premier League outfit, is eyeing a few young players, with the name of the Chelsea youngster Izzy Brown right on top of his target list for the summer transfer window.
However, their interest in the 20-year-old has been challenged by the newcomers in the Premier League, Huddersfield Town, who are looking to bring in the talented youngster into their squad for the next season as well. The English forward played for the Terriers in the last season on loan from the Premier League champions Chelsea and demonstrated cool and composed attitude in front of the goal by scoring five goals in the 21 appearances he made for the club.
The problem that they face now in getting the player on loan once again for the next season is due to the fact that they have signed Chelsea youngster Kasey Palmer already on loan. As it is not possible to get two players from the same club to play on loan in the same season, Huddersfield might have to submit a bid of £8 million to get Brown into their team in the next season, which is holding back David Wagner from bagging the striker from Chelsea in the summer.
Meanwhile, the South Coast club are looking to take advantage of this delay from the Terriers to get the 20-year-old forward into their team, and are ready to bid for the player to bring him in the summer transfer window.
The under-23 Chelsea star looked good for the Terriers in the last season and had played a crucial role in helping them to clinch promotion to the Premier League. The youngster is known for his darting runs into the heart of the opposition defence and can bamboozle the opponents with his swift footwork. He is considered equally dangerous from the long range as well as the close range to get goals with his sharp shooting.
