Southampton have switched their attention to Denmark's attacking prodigy William Boving who fits the perfect striker profile Will Still prefers.
Throughout the week, Will Still's rare negatives have been deservedly talked at length. But that doesn't hide the commendable work Still is known to implement in the front three, and that should lift the Saints spirits high.
A good example of this is Southampton fans backing Ross Stewart to hit bigger strides in Still's "crossing to number nine" inspired setup. And the more Southampton can double down on recruiting such clinical finishers, the better it will suit Still's tactical strengths.
According to a report from Football Insider, Southampton have scouted one such dream striker profile in William Boving.
Will Still can get the best out of William Boving
A towering attacker who is enjoying a red-hot form across European football, that's what St. Mary's has been craving for years.
Now, I know Boving hasn't proven his mettle in English football yet, but that doesn't mean he will struggle as Paul Onuachu did. In fact, Tall Paul missed his biggest admirer Nathan Jones almost from the get go, which shaped his overall unimpressive stay.
On the other hand, Still is most likely to at least see out his current contract, thus, giving complete attention to all of his preferred players to thrive.
So, a concern of a dip in form isn't expected to be a stumbling block in a potential Boving swoop. Rather, what could possibly impact this transfer is Boving's compatriot Albert Gronbaek.
Without lamenting much about Gronbaek's failed loan, it's wise to conclude that Boving might have his valid fears before thinking of joining Southampton. That can be overcome, but it will need a good heavy lifting from the Saints in order to convince Boving.
Rest, let's see whether Southampton attempt to test Sturm Graz's resolve with some official William Boving bids.
