As usual, it’s a frenzy on the Island on the last day of the transfer window, almost all clubs are stepping up, and one of the most active until midnight will be Southampton.The struggling Premier League side is well on their way to promoting two big reinforcements in the attack tonight, which should be a guarantee of goals and ultimately survival. Let us remind you that the Saints are the bottom-seeded league club, but they are only two points away from the survival zone.##NAJAVA_MECA_6988932##During the day, Southampton won the battle with Everton and agreed the transfer of Kamaldeen Sulemana from Rennes. The left-winger from Ghana is only 20 years old, and he came to Rennes a year and a half ago from Nordsjaelland for 17,000,000 euros when the French side snatched him in front of Ajax. Although he didn’t really impress in Brittany (six goals and four assists in 47 matches), he still holds a high price on the market, and he insisted on leaving the club this winter, and that’s how the transfer saga began.First, PSV wanted him but offered only 15,000,000 euros, then Southampton offered 20,000,000, while Everton put 19,000,000 euros on the table. Rennes pointed out the price of 25,000,000 and rejected all offers. In the end, the French club got more than they asked for because both Premier League clubs came forward with similar offers and made a bid. Rennes accepted both offers and it was up to the player to choose. He chose the Saints who offered 25,000,000 euros and 3,000,000 through bonuses.🇬🇭 Kamaldeen Sulemana has chosen Southampton over Everton [@lequipe] pic.twitter.com/tQ0ff0JqP2— Owuraku Ampofo (@_owurakuampofo) January 31, 2023 When they agreed the transfer of Sulemana, Southampton then focused on bringing in a striker. And arranged the arrival of the best scorer of the Belgian championship, Paul Onuachu, from Genk. The Nigerian exploded this season in the jersey of the popular Smurfs, who are first in the table, and scored 16 league goals. They bought him three and a half years ago from Midtjylland for 6,000,000 euros, and now they will earn three times as much.Although they will suffer a heavy blow in the title fight, Genk could not refuse the offer from St Mary’s which is €18,000,000 fixed plus €3,000,000 in bonuses. Quite a good job considering that Onuachu wanted to leave the club in the previous transfer window and that he only had a year and a half left on his contract and this was the last chance to earn good money.Sulemana and Onuachu are not the only January additions to the club from the south of England. Before them, Mislav Oršić from Dinamo arrived for 5,750,000 euros and the talented Argentine midfielder Carlos Alakaraz from Racing for 13,650,000 euros.🚨 Paul Onuachu will join Southampton for €18M + €3M add ons!
