Hoedt reportedly closing in on Celta Vigo switch

Southampton defender Wesley Hoedt is reportedly nearing a move to Celta Vigo.

It is reported by Victor Lopez of Spanish news station Radio Galega that the La Liga side are set to complete the signing of the centre-back on loan until the end of the season.

Hoedt has been told by Ralph Hasenhuttl to find a new club this month and has been excluded by the Austrian manager following his recent appointment.

The Netherlands international has been maligned for poor displays in the heart of the defence for Southampton this season and has scored two own goals in the Premier League.

Saints winger Sofiane Boufal is also currently on loan at Celta Vigo, and it seems Hoedt could join him if Lopez’s claims are to be proven correct.

The reporter indicates that the former Lazio star will arrive in Spain on Monday ahead of a short-term loan move to the club.
