Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl has reportedly targeted Standard Liege’s star winger Moussa Djenepo for a move in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Southampton are on the lookout to bolster their goal-scoring options after a dismal campaign in the Premier League this season.
Ralph Hasenhuttl will be looking to make his mark in his first summer transfer window as Saints boss and he will have the big task of identifying a player who could help them push on from the this season’s potential 15th-placed finish.
The Saints do not have a single player in their ranks who has got himself into double figures in terms of goals this season, but that could change immediately if they sign Djenepo in the summer.
The 20-year-old Mali international is having a fine season in the Belgian Pro League for Standard Liege so far having scored 11 goals and assisted six more in all competitions.
Djenepo has been a star in the Belgian top flight and he has been one of the biggest reasons why Standard Liege are placed third in the league table.
A fast and tricky winger, Djenepo has all the characteristics in him to be a fine player in the Premier League and, under Ralph Hasenhuttl’s guidance, he can fulfil his massive potential in the coming years.
