Could Claude Puel land these 3 players linked with Southampton in January?

Juanpi

Manager Puel is reportedly monitoring the progress of Malaga’s attacking midfielder Juanpi, and he’ll likely be happy with what he’s seen from the youngster in recent months.

The 22-year-old, having made his senior debut for the Spanish side little over two years ago, has flourished in the past few seasons, and netted four times for Juande Ramos’ side last campaign.

Juanpi is a regular starter for Venezuela and is becoming a more important member of the Malaga squad as time wears on.

The Saints appear to be in pole position to land Juanpi so, if boss Puel wants him, he’ll have a good chance of securing a deal in January.
