Southampton are exploring a move to re-sign James Ward-Prowse.Saints have been looking into a deal for the former captain, with a loan move currently the most likely option.

Southampton suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat to West Ham United at St Mary’s in the Carabao Cup, producing one of the worst performances I can remember seeing from Saints in a very long time.For me, it was comfortably the worst performance of the Tonda Eckert era by far the worst.Yes, it’s only the cup. Yes, we are still very early in the season. But there are certain performances where you have to look beyond the result, and tonight there were huge warning signs.

It’s the second of three consecutive home games for Southampton, with West Ham United heading to St Mary’s on Tuesday night for the second round of the Carabao Cup.We preview the game with Paul a West Ham FanHelp support the channel with Patreon (from £3/month) Use code FM25 to save 25%👉 https://www.patreon.com/c/FootballMartin

Daniel Peretz Signing Shows Southampton Mean BusinessI couldn’t be more excited about this signing.For me, bringing Daniel Peretz back to Southampton on a permanent deal is a massive statement of intent from the club. The timing is significant too. To secure one of the club’s most important players before season tickets have even gone on sale sends a powerful message to supporters that Southampton are fully committed to mounting a serious promotion challenge.
