We could be lining up a potential bid for Southampton full-back Cedric Soares, according to the Mirror journalist Adrian Kajumba.
The 26-year-old could be relegated with the Saints this season, but the report suggests we are interested in the defender to strengthen our options on the right-hand side.
That would indicate Serge Aurier’s stay with us could be coming to an end just a season after his move from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Ivorian has struggled since his £23m switch in August, being culpable for a number of defensive mistakes, and giving way some poor penalties.
Whether Cedric would be a better alternative to Kieran Trippier, I’m not so sure. The Portuguese international did play a role in winning Euro 2016, but his form at club level has not been particularly special.
During his three years on the South coast, the defender has provided just seven assists in 93 appearances. Our no.2 has eight in all competitions just this season.
