Although it is uncertain if the new additions will help the Saints, Ivan Juric’s team likely needed more players to bolster their roster because they are ten points from safety. It appears that Southampton lost out on a possible player rather late in the transfer window; the player in question is Strasbourg’s Abakar Sylla, who has made 13 appearances for the French team in Ligue 1 this season. According to Tuttomercatoweb, Southampton “had their eye” on the Ivorian center-back, and Italian powerhouse Lazio also expressed interest.
Parma ultimately secured a deal for the 22-year-old, securing an initial loan with a buyout option. Although the Saints lost out on their target, Parma was unable to complete the move due to paperwork issues, as Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Strasbourg failed to send the necessary paperwork in time. This could potentially give Southampton hope in the summer, and it would be interesting to see if they return for Sylla further.
