The Frenchman would be one excellent addition for Southampton.
Ralph Hassenhüttl failed to bring any new players to Southampton on transfer deadline day yesterday, but they still have an opportunity to strengthen.
The Saints can still sign free agents, and one particular player who might appeal to them is Yohan Cabaye, especially with the need to bolster their central midfield ranks, having lost Steven Davis on loan to Rangers.
The 48-capped former France international, 33, is a wonderful passer of the football, and he has the ability to dictate the tempo of the game from the deep-lying midfield position.
Cabaye would be an excellent addition for Southampton, and he would undoubtedly help Hasenhüttl’s side improve upon the fluidity of their play through he middle of the park.
Bringing him to St Mary’s would also involve little risk, given the fact that he is available on a free transfer.
The former Newcastle United and Crystal Palace man also has extensive experience of playing in the Premier League – something that is a massive bonus.
Southampton are still far from safe from the threat of relegation, but signing someone of Cabaye’s quality could be just what they need, as they attempt to create distance between themselves and the bottom three during the final third of the season.
