One of Southampton’s players is putting ‘serious pressure’ on the club to agree to sell him to a side that he desperately wants to join this summer.
Russell Martin is in the market for further additions before the window closes, with Celtic midfielder Matt O’Riley a target, but departures are also expected.
Striker Paul Onuachu is tipped to go, but where he will end up remains unclear, despite Trabzonspor, where he was on loan last season, pushing to land him.
The Turkish giants have been in regular talks with Southampton to try to agree a deal, but now the clock is ticking.
And Onuachu has ‘put serious pressure’ on Southampton to find an agreement with Trabzonspor, telling Saints that he only wants to join the Turkish club, according to Turkish outlet Fanatik.
Trabzonspor are ready to pay €7m to Saints for Onuachu, but it has also been suggested that they are ready to increase the offer a little more.
Southampton are looking for around €10m.
Onuachu made 21-goal contributions in just 26 matches for the Turkish outfit and now the player and the club are eager to reunite permanently.
Trabzonspor will be looking to conclude the Onuachu deal soon with Southampton.
