If reports are to be believed, Southampton will sell Matty Targett to Aston Villa for £14m this summer. The 23-year-old’s move would leave Ralph Hasenhüttl short on options at left-back going into the new season, meaning he will need to scour the transfer market for a replacement.
One player the Saints should consider signing is Kieran Gibbs. The £55k-per-week West Bromwich Albion defender could be available for £3m and may jump at the chance to return to the Premier League. Gibbs joined the Baggies from Arsenal in 2017 and has gone on to make 74 appearances in all competitions.
