With speculation suggesting that Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl was now close to his first signing of the summer given the rumour mill has had winger Moussa Djenepo heavily linked this last month, it seems things have taken a step closer.
“Still Negotiating” “Signing By Tuesday” – Journalist Gives Southampton Update On Two Targets
With Daily Echo journalist Adam Blackmore Tweeting out that there was an expectation that the highly rated 20-year-old would be announced this coming Tuesday, and later that evening HBvL journalist Sven Claes claimed that his medical was now done, and he’d passed, and further, that we’d completed the paperwork on a five year deal with an expectation that we’ve paid 12million Euros upfront, with a believed, 3million Euros more in add on clauses.

Presuming there are no delays with his work permit and international clearance, Tuesday certainly seems like a good bet for the deal to be announced and become official.
