Following multiple reliable reports that Augsburg have accepted a bid from Southampton for Keven Schlotterbeck - discussions over personal terms are said to have begun as all parties look to finalise the move in the coming days. The defender is open to the move, and if talks proceed smoothly, the transfer could be confirmed in the coming days - which would see the buying team secure one of their top targets and put their rivals on notice. Talks remain ongoing, though with no rival clubs reported in the mix, Southampton are progressing without added pressure. Across the season 26/27, Southampton have let in 3 goals in 2 (1.5 per game), roughly in line with the Championship average. Keven Schlotterbeck would be expected to give them some extra stability and depth for the tougher stretches of the season.
