Puel must scout these 3 players for Southampton over the international break

Vedad Ibisevic

An experienced player who has been scoring goals for many seasons now, Vedad Ibisevic could seriously bolster Southampton’s forward options.

In Charlie Austin and Jay Rodriguez, the Saints have got strikers with a history of injury problems, so bringing in a more-than-able forward like Ibisevic would be invaluable.

The 32-year-old currently plays for Hertha Berlin, where he signed last summer, and has netted five goals in his last five Bundesliga matches, including a brace last weekend against Hamburg.

He has scored goals at every club he’s been at, and his experience of European competition should help a Southampton squad embarking on the Europa League for the first time in 12 years.

He’s part of a strong Bosnia and Herzegovina strike force for their tricky qualifiers against Belgium and Cyprus, and the Saints should look to keep an eye on Ibisevic’s performances in those two games.
