3 midfielders Southampton should look to sign in January

Juanpi

This is a transfer that could very much happen in the New Year.

The Saints have already been linked with a January move for Malaga winger Juanpi, who came through the youth system at Malaga prior to his senior debut in 2014.

It was last season where he really made his mark though, appearing 30 times for the Spanish side and netting four goals.

However, Malaga are attempting to tie the 22-year-old down to a new deal at La Rosaleda, which could force Southampton to pay more than the reported £18 million they were looking to spend on the 22-year-old.

Southampton’s attacking options are very strong, but given that they could be in four competitions come January, Puel needs a strong squad, so signing Juanpi could be a shrewd investment for a player who has got real potential.
