Southampton to make a move for Brandon Williams
Brandon Williams is getting closer to Southampton day by day as transfer talk continues to intensify.
According to the football transfer rumours in British media, Southampton will make a loan move for Brandon Williams.
The right-back has featured in 14 matches for Manchester United last term
, providing one assist in all competitions.
The 20-year-old has been touted as one of the brightest young prospects in England. Williams has represented England at Under-20 and Under-21 level, winning five caps.
His performances have seen him become the target of many Premier League clubs including Southampton.
Ralph Hasenhuttl is looking to shore up his defensive options and Manchester United’s Brandon Williams happens to be a target. The report claims that Southampton manager has extensively scouted Williams and is considering a loan move for the right-back.
The 20-year-old is a skilled right-back who can make a difference at both ends of the pitch.
According to the report, “Southampton are favourites to land Williams on loan next season. The Saints are keen to strengthen full-back positions and see a short-term deal for Williams as an ideal deal, with Ralph Hasenhuttl eager to make a move happen. Williams rarely featured for United last season, mostly appearing as a back-up for Aaron Wan-Bissaka as Alex Telles competed with Luke Shaw for the left-back spot.”
