After being on the brink of joining Southampton, Aster Vranckx will remain at Wolfsburg - at least for now. According to sources close to the deal, talks over a potential transfer have collapsed, with negotiations hitting a wall late in the process. The midfielder had been seen as a priority signing for the interested team but it looks like they will have to look elsewhere or return with an improved offer. Talks collapsed before reaching an agreement, and with no other clubs involved, Aster Vranckx remains at Wolfsburg. So far this season, Southampton are steady at both ends (2.0 goals scored per game, 1.5 goals conceded per game). The role for Aster Vranckx would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Reports suggest Southampton are monitoring James Ward-Prowse, Keven Schlotterbeck and Anel Ahmedhodzic whereas Wolfsburg have not been associated with other players at this stage.
