Hi Ed's,

Any update on the following players:

Max Cornet
Mattias Svanberg
Sasa Kalajdzic
Neco Williams
Chris Richards
Emmanuel Dennis
Lewis o'brien

All been linked with saints this summer, anything you know would be great.
Thanks as always for sharing your knowledge

Sam

{Ed002's Note - Maxwel Cornet (LW/F) Spurs were interested in using Cornet as a left wing back - something Antonio Conte has regularly done successfully in the past. He is one of three options identified to replace Reguilon but Perisic will move instead. There will be interest from elsewhere, including Newcastle, and a fixed fee of €20M will bring interest from France.
Mattias Svanberg (CM) Milan and Inter are considering an offer but Conte would like him at Spurs and Southampton offer him a place as a starter.
Sasa Kalajdzic (S) Stuttgart will push for him to sign a new contract. Agent has offered him to Roma and Spurs - as they did last summer to Chelsea and Crystal Palace. Bayern Munich are keen on the player but have a preferred target. The same is true of Borussia Dortmund.
Neco Williams (RB) Interest has been shown by Fulham and it is clear that he has not clear future path at Liverpool and wants to move on. As long as the price asked is reasonable then perhaps the summer will see him move on. Southampton opted for another last summer and whist Burnley has shown interest the player will be looking out for other options now relegated. Nottingham Forest offer a wildcard option. Price again will be everything and if not over-priced he should get a move.
Emmanuel Dennis (S) He only joined recently and they would not be looking to sell as they regroup in the Championship. Caught by the West Ham scattergun - not the solution. Everton may show an interest.
Lewis O'Brien (CM) Leeds and West Ham have spoken with his agent.
Chris Richards (CB/RB) A number of sides, including Southampton, Leeds and Crystal Palace scouted at him whilst on loan at Hoffenheim. Crystal Palace have discussed a transfer with his agent but remain concerned he may not obtain a Work Permit.

Cheers Ed002 much appreciated. Doesn’t sound like we’re close with any of these then? Most disappointed with cornet and o’brien as I feel like they would instantly improve our side and really are not that much money. Do both have release clauses? Swear “the athletic” reported that they did? Sam

{Ed002's Note - It is very unusual to have release clauses in England.}
