The West Ham United winger would be a useful addition to the Southampton squad this summer.
Saints boss Mauricio Pellegrino will surely be looking to add some attacking wide talent to his ranks this summer, in an attempt to inject more creativity into his line-up, after last season’s paltry tally of just 41 Premier League goals in 38 outings.
Dusan Tadic’s future at St Mary’s is far from certain, with the Evening Standard linking him with a move to West Ham United, and if the Serbian does end up leaving this summer, Southampton will obviously have to replace him with an established winger.
With the in mind, Pellegrino should consider a move for Hammers winger Robert Snodgrass, who has struggled to adapt to life in east London following his move from Hull City in January this year.

Despite the Scot’s struggles, he still possesses real quality, and has plenty to offer at the very highest level.
He s a set-piece specialist – something that the Saints are currently bereft of, and has exceptional technique. His ability to pick out a pass in the final third would surely help bring the best out of Manolo Gabbiadini.
The left-footed 29-year-old would also add greater balance to the south coast outfit’s forward line. He is most effective when deployed in the wide right attacking role, but can also be utilised as a number 10, just behind the lone striker if need be.
Slaven Bilic would surely consider sanctioning Snodgrass’ exit, if he receives a reasonable offer for his services this summer, following his tepid displays in a Hammers shirt.
The east Londoners laid out around £10 million for the Scotland international, so if Southampton submit an offer anywhere in the region of what West Ham paid, they could very well get their man.
