Southampton fans worry Leicester City will beat them to Quincy Promes move.
Southampton face a late battle to get a deal for Quincy Promes done after their latest bid was rejected yesterday.
SkySports reported that the Saints’ £25 million offer for Promes was rejected.
The time is ticking down until the transfer deadline and Southampton have it late to land the Dutchman.
Fans are getting worried that developments elsewhere in the Premier League will see them lose out.
Leicester City are battling to keep hold of Riyad Mahrez, who has submitted a transfer request following a bid from Manchester City.
This would give the Foxes the funds to beat Southampton to Promes’ signature if they wished, losing one winger and gaining another.
Former Saints boss Claude Puel is in charge at Leicester, and he has already haunted them once, leading the Foxes to a big win at St Mary’s.
It says a lot about the lack of confidence from Southampton fans at present, that there is real worry they will lose out to Puel again – for a player his side have not even bid for yet.
