Matt Targett says he could leave Saints this summer

Matt Targett has been speaking about his future and what will happen after his loan move at Fulham, as per Sky Sports News.

Targett was loaned from Southampton to Craven Cottage in the January transfer window after making only two appearances for the Saints during the first half of the season.

These two appearances were the 1-1 home draw to Huddersfield and the 5-2 loss at Wembley to Tottenham Hotspur.

However, since his move to the Championship, he has performed excellently and has been crucial to the Cottagers going over 20 games unbeaten in their fight to gain an automatic promotion spot.

Still  only 22 years old, Targett has a bright future ahead of him, and has been part of a defence which has conceded just eight goals in 15 appearances for Fulham.

He has also had a huge impact on Fulham’s wonderkid Ryan Sessegnon. The 17-year-old has pushed forward since Targett’s arrival, scoring 14 goals this season, attracting attention from huge Premier League clubs such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham.

In a recent interview, Targett said (via Sky Sports News):

Obviously Southampton aren’t in the best position in the Premier League at the moment and I’m very happy here. I’ve done well here so far and I just want that to carry on, to push on and get Fulham back in the Premier League. It would certainly be an option (permanently moving to Fulham), but it would be down to both clubs agreeing a fee.
