Saints reportedly interested in Gregoire Defrel
Southampton are reportedly one of several top flight clubs keen to sign Gregoire Defrel from Sassuolo this summer.
According to an exclusive report from Italian news outlet TMW, the Saints are among many Premier League teams attempting to lure the Frenchman away from the Serie A side’s grasp.
Defrel’s performances over the last couple of years have inevitably led to plenty of speculation regarding his future, with a host of teams from across the continent touted with moves for him.
However, he’s remained at Sassuolo up until now and has shown his quality in the green and black shirt.
Saints are already well stacked in the striking department, with the likes of Manolo Gabbiadini, Shane Long, Charlie Austin, Jay Rodriguez and the returning Sam Gallagher all on the books.
However, a player like Defrel would certainly bolster the attacking ranks at the club.
Saints are joined by Leicester, West Ham and Tottenham, according to the report from TMW.
