Southampton are allegedly keen on signing the Rangers defender.
According to a report from the Express, Southampton are interested in signing Rangers right-back James Tavernier, and should they be successful in their pursuit of the 27-year-old, he could end up being a wonderful addition to Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side.
The Saints have just shipped out Cedric Soares to Inter Milan on loan, and the Serie A giants have an option to buy the full-back for £9.5 million in the summer, according to BBC Sport.
The Express claims that Rangers would demand £8 million for Tavernier, and in today’s day and age, that would surely represent excellent value for money for Southampton.
The former Wigan Athletic and Newcastle defender is an attack-minded full-back, and he would offer the Saints just as munch going forward as he would defensively.
And he would arguably be an upgrade upon the recently departed Cedric.
Tavernier is full of energy, drive, determination, and he is an incredibly hard worker. He is tenacious in the tackle, and is lightning quick along the ground.
Despite the fact that the Premier League would be big step up in both quality and intensity, the Rangers man possesses more than enough to succeed, and he really would be an excellent signing for Southampton, especially for the quoted fee of just £8 million.
