Southampton is in need of defensive reinforcements, even with the permanent signing of Taylor Harwood-Bellis. Currently, they only have three senior centre-backs at the club, and could benefit from adding a player like Jacob Greaves to their squad.
Hull City’s Greaves, who has been linked with a move to Ipswich Town, could be a valuable addition to Southampton’s defensive options. The 23-year-old left-footed defender has impressed during his time at Hull, and with the club facing financial difficulties, he may be available at a discounted rate.
Greaves’ versatility and quality on the ball make him an attractive target for Southampton, especially if they continue to use a back three formation. His potential to succeed in the Premier League has been praised by former Hull manager Grant McCann, who believes the young defender is destined for greatness.
Southampton should act quickly to secure the signing of Greaves, as he could provide the perfect replacement for Jack Stephens and strengthen their defense for the upcoming season.
