Saints are being linked with a right back with Cedric rumoured to be on his way out in this transfer window.

Rumour has been rife that Saints will sell Cedric Soares in this transfer window and if they do so then they are said to be already in talks with his successor Genk right back Joakim Maehle.

The 21-year-old Danish U21 international has been earmarked by Ralph Hasenhuttl Maehle, who can also play in midfield, cost Genk £1.3m from Aalborg in 2017.

His current value is said to be around £4 million according to transfermarkt, but this is the January transfer madness and he could cost twice as much, but Saints would perhaps see it as good business if they can get somewhere near double that for Soares, leaving them a hefty sum to add to the £12 million received for Gabbiadini.

Hugh_Jarce added 08:20 - Jan 18 Good business to off load Cedric who has been coasting for ages. Can't defend as as too short and his crossing and shooting are suspect. Apart from that he's brilliant

underweststand added 08:28 - Jan 18 How many transfer "rumours" is this now ?. I lost count after the first 20 . Who are those " in the know" sources who can post such items? 1) Might be the player's agent with his own site and looking to "upgrade" his client. 2) Someone at the player's club trying to unload a "square peg" in their squad. 3) How about the Bookies giving odds on a player who is a likely "non-runner" anyway, must be lots of "mug punters" who'd bet on anything. 4) Perhaps some kid sitting in his bedroom with a computer who's created a site that sounds like it's "the most informed source" in the World. Bla-ha! I've never heard of this guy, but if he is as a good as is suggested he might be a good buy, meanwhile I'm not getting excited until January31st, as most of these "so-called" rumours aren't worth a pinch of salt.
