Finally, Southampton may be able to sign Nathan Tella’s replacement as they try to sign Manuel Benson, the out-of-favor Burnley winger.
In an attempt to bolster their squad for their second-half promotion drive, Southampton may have at last secured Nathan Tella’s successor.
Reputable writer Sacha Tavolieri claims that the Saints have made a second approach for Manuel Benson, a winger from Belgium.
According to credible reporter Sacha Tavolieri, the Saints are reportedly pursuing Manuel Benson, a Belgian winger, again.
When Burnley was promoted from the Championship the previous season, Benson was one of their most outstanding players. However, since Turf Moor was promoted to the Premier League, the goal-scoring winger has fallen out of favor.
Benson, who has played little at Turf Moor, may be looking for more playing time, and he wants to move to Southampton, according to Tavolieri’s source.
Benson is excited about moving to the South Coast, although business between Burnley and Southampton could be difficult given their tense relationship over the Tella incident.
Benson averaged 46 minutes per game in the Championship, mostly as an impact substitute for Vincent Kompany.
The winger made the most of his little playing time, tallying 11 goals in 33 games for the Clarets the previous campaign. Benson scored important goals for Burnley, including the game-winning goal in the away derby between Blackburn Rovers and Burnley in the Lancashire derby, two goals in Burnley’s 3-1 victory over Middlesbrough, and the winner in extra time of Burnley’s home game against Reading, in which he also assisted on the first goal.
