Coral’s rumour reel

The January transfer window is swiftly approaching and many Premier League clubs are already planning ahead with outlined targets for the winter period.

This includes Southampton among others, with the Saints seeking a new defensive recruit as part of Coral’s latest rumour reel for November 14th.

So read on to see who is going where in the coming months below…

Southampton seeking Jans signing

Saints manager Claude Puel is ready to fork out £1m on Waasland-Beveren defender Laurent Jans in the January transfer window, a move which would make the latter the first ever player from Luxembourg to feature in the Premier League.

The 24-year-old full back has been impressing of late while with his current Belgian outfit and boasts 29 caps for his native country, with Southampton seeking Jans’ signing in the coming months.

Puel’s south coast club sit in 10th position of the top-flight table and, after injuries to Euro 2016 full winning back Cedric Soares and Jeremy Pied as well as Cuco Martina struggling for form, Jans is seen as an ideal arrival.

The highly-rated wideman has previously had a trial at Dundee United and is reportedly also being eyed by Championship sides Aston Villa and Huddersfield. Meanwhile, Luxembourg would become the 106th nation to be represented in the PL, with Manchester United’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan making Armenia the most recent.
