Southampton look to have pulled off a major coup as they close in on a loan deal for Liverpool winger Takumi Minamino .
Officials at St Mary’s opened negotiations with Liverpool only this morning over a potential six month loan deal.
Discussions have continued throughout the day with a deal in principle agreed between the two clubs in the last hour.
The 26-year old Japan international is undergoing a medical this evening after which he’s expected to join his new Southampton teammates at their team hotel in Manchester ahead of tomorrow’s game against Manchester United.
It’s thought the player was not registered in time to make his debut at Old Trafford.
He is primarily a winger but with a brilliant scoring record, from what I’ve seen he’ll sit out wide but naturally pulls into the centre, he likes to cover the pitch, it may say he is a winger but he’ll pop up everywhere.
This is a actually bordering on funny. We went in to this window looking for defensive reinforcements in the full back areas. Instead we are signing an attacking player and loaning out both of the existing back up fullbacks whilst KWP is injured!
