Southampton are expected to be busy on deadline day tomorrow.

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhüttl will surely be desperate to bolster his ranks at St Mary’s before the transfer window slams shut tomorrow night.

The Saints haven’t actually signed anyone as yet this month, but they have been linked with a whole host of exciting talent.

Here are three potential deals that Southampton could push through before tomorrow’s 11pm deadline…

Che Adams:

According to a report from the Sun, Southampton are expected to outbid Burnley in the race to sign the Birmingham City hitman.

The 22-year-old has been in fine form this season, racking up 14 goals in 28 Championship outings for Birmingham.

He would be a useful addition for the south coast club, especially considering that Manolo Gabbiadini has already left and Charlie Austin has been linked with an exit from St Mary’s.

Omar Elabdellaoui:

Southampton are currently in talks to sign the £4.5 million-rated Olympiacos defender, according to Sun, so this could be one that gets wrapped up fairly quickly.

The 27-year-old is a right-back by trade, but he can also operate in the right midfield position, and he would be a sound addition for the Saints.

Jordan D’Ambrosio:

According to French publication Foot Mercato, Southampton have enquired about the possibility of signing the free agent.

The striker’s contract ended with Sochaux, and he would surely be a real coup for the Saints.

The highly rated Frenchman, 18, possesses blistering pace, although he would be a signing made with one eye on the future rather than for the here and now.
