Exciting winger uplifts Southampton's transfer desire after match-winning outing | OneFootball

Southampton have been forced to take notice of transfer target Oliver Antman's courageous display against Malta.

During midweek, a surprising Southampton transfer revelation came to light. The Saints were believed to have scouted Oliver Antman for their summer bucket list which must've left the fans puzzled.

To his credit, his bright attacking figures can't be denied but his lack of top-five leagues' experience isn't appreciable. After all, Southampton signed Belgian top-flight's in-form attacker Paul Onuachu but they themselves know it went on to become an awful transfer call.

Thus, trusting in Antman's talent would take time and a string of splendid efforts from the 23-year-old. Therefore, get prepared for the same because the flair playmaker gave a good glimpse of his prowess in the World Cup qualifiers.

Oliver Antman can be the match-winner Southampton want

Playing against Malta, Antman bagged the solitary goal to initiate Finland's World Cup dreams on a lofty note.

Well, that's a proud achievement to add to his catalogue. And Southampton would also have smiled knowing that Antman can be relied on to deliver in the must-win matchups.

On top of that, Antman hasn't become a rising name in the club football landscape. Thus, prizing him away from his current employers shouldn't be a worrying aspect.

Now, adaptation becomes the final hurdle that will decide the theme of his potential Southampton stay. There is a significant learning curve in the Premier League and it can take weeks of consistent practice to get accustomed to playing well.

Plus, injuries are becoming the biggest fear among the Saints and being labelled as an in-and-out player would do more harm than good to Antman's career.

Hence, it would be wise for Southampton to regularly watch more of his on-field attributes and then form their recruitment opinions about him. Agreed that this transfer link isn't much advanced but hey, never say never during the transfer market.
