Southampton keen on Werder Bremen midfielder
According to German publication Kicker, Southampton are interested in Werder Bremen midfielder Zlatko Junuzovic.
West Ham are also thought to be interested, with both sides eyeing up a potential summer move for the central midfielder from Austria. He could be available this summer, with the two Premier League clubs keen.
Junuzovic has been at Werder Breman since 2012, amassing over 100 Bundesliga appearances in Germany, scoring 15 times from midfield. He has built a reputation as an assured presence in midfield, winning many admirers.
With Europa League football coming next season for Southampton, Ronald Koeman is looking to add depth and strength to his squad this summer. Junuzovic would add just that to the Saints midfield ahead of next campaign.
With Victor Wanyama’s future at the club uncertain, a move for Junuzovic would make sense. It is unknown how much Werder Bremen would want for the midfielder at this point.
Junuzovic is known for his ability on the ball, with a very good passing range. He is also a free-kick specialist, which is another skill in his locker. He can create chances as well as break them down from opposition attacks. This means that he would be a top asset for the Saints if they could acquire his services.
