Southampton do not want to lose any of their first team squad this January transfer window, but their resolve may be tested with a late bid.

The midfielder had been at Southampton since the age of nine and had signed his first professional contract in 2022 but joins Brighton for an undisclosed fee, with Southampton including a sell-on fee in the deal.

Southampton have a reputation for making big profits on promising young talents, whether that be players they have signed cheap or that have progressed through the club’s famous academy.

As exclusively reported by The Boot Room, Southampton are one of a number of club’s interested in a deal to sign Khata from the Hungarian side, with The City Group, SC Herenveen and a number of German clubs also interested in the exciting young midfielder.

Whilst Southampton may feel they have work to do themselves in the transfer window, news of West Ham signing Kalvin Phillips on loan could have a positive knock-on effect for the club’s future plans.

Southampton’s focus this transfer window has been primarily on keeping players rather than buying them, but an exciting transfer link has now emerged.

The January transfer window is always a frantic time of year with clubs scrambling to improve their squad for the rest of the season, but Southampton are hoping to have a relatively quiet end to the month.

Che Adams is out of contract in the summer which has led to a number of Premier League clubs expressing interest in the striker, but now Southampton have named their price for a January sale.
