Hasenhuttl reuniting with his 20-year-old former protege would be a smashing move for Southampton – agreed?
Why Dayot Upamecano would be a smashing signing for Southampton
Dayot Upamecano is a promising talent that RB Leipzig signed in 2017 from RB Salzburg and has been impressing at the heart of their defence, making 10 Bundesliga starts this season at the age of just 20.
The 20-year-old is considered as one of the best young defenders in Germany and his performances this season have caught the attention of Southampton. The Saints appear to have pulled off a real coup by luring the well-regarded Ralph Hasenhuttl to St. Mary’s with the club having won just one Premier League game all season.
Ralph Hasenhuttl, whose fast-paced, exciting and high-intensity style of football is very different from his predecessor Mark Hughes, will certainly be hoping to rebuild the Southampton squad in his own manner as he aims to avoid relegation with the Saints this season.
Plugging the holes in the defence has to be Hasenhuttl’s priority when the transfer market reopens next month. The Saints lie in the relegation zone, having conceded 30 goals in just 16 games and unless the new manager comes up with a plan to arrest his side’s defensive problem, the Sea Coast club could end up in the Championship next term.
That said, a move for Dayot Upamecano in January makes utmost sense for Southampton. Hasenhuttl would be well aware of Upamecano’s abilities, having coached him at his former club, RB Leipzig. So the signing of the 20-year-old would be gamble-free for the Saints.
A regular for France U21s, Upamecano has a sky-high potential to reach an elite level as he develops. He is blessed with great pace which allows him to make recovery runs and win possession back from his opponents. The 20-year-old is strong in the air, robust in the challenge and is highly composed with the ball at his feet.
Upamecano is composed and commanding with solid positional sense and has that extra bit of pace and agility that modern defenders need in the modern era. Upamecano is excellent at reading the game and breaking up attacks, while he also has a great deal of first-team experience behind him.

At 20, Upamecano could be a brilliant long-term addition for Southampton. But Leipzig could be reluctant to let go one of their best prospects midway through the season, hence, Southampton have to be ready to break the bank in January to land one of the hottest young defensive prospects of European football.

Celtic dealt major blow in pursuit of Bologna star Aaron Hickey
According to La Nazione (h/t Daily Record), Fiorentina have intensified negotiations with fellow Serie A club Bologna for the signing of Celtic target Aaron Hickey, dealing a blow to the Hoops.
Hickey started out at the academy of Scottish club Heart of Midlothian FC and briefly spent time at Celtic as well before returning to Hearts, where he graduated to the first-team and went on to make 34 senior appearances.
The young left-back, who scored and assisted one goal apiece for his boyhood club, was snapped up by Serie A side Bologna in the summer of last year. Hickey did not feature regularly for the Serie A outfit due to injury problems. Indeed, the 19-year-old featured in just 12 games throughout the 2020/21 season.
But his stock remains high as ever, as Celtic are intent on bringing him back to Scotland this summer. The Hoops, embarking on a new journey under new manager Ange Postecoglou, are looking to bolster their defensive department.
Having decided not to sign Diego Laxalt permanently, Celtic have just Boli Bolingoli and Greg Taylor as options at left-back, with the former unsure of a future after returning from loan. So, signing someone like Hickey, who can make the spot his own for the coming years, would have been a good move.
However, Fiorentina seem to have thrown a spanner in the works for Celtic as the Serie A side have upped their efforts to land the youngster from Bologna. Indeed, it is reported that La Viola have intensified negotiations over a move, although they will have to offer at least €5m to stand a chance of signing the teenager.

Bologna are in no hurry to sell Hickey and will wait for the highest bid as they look to maximise their profits. It is now up to Celtic to step up in their pursuit of the 19-year-old or risk missing out on him.
Transfer News: Rangers star Glen Kamara wanted by Everton
According to transfer news from Eurosport (h/t Glasgow Live), Premier League club Everton have entered the race to sign Glen Kamara from Scottish champions Rangers this summer.
Kamara started out his youth football in his homeland, Finland, before switching to England in 2011 when he signed for the Southend United academy. A year later, he was snapped up by Premier League giants Arsenal, where he rose through the youth ranks but couldn’t break into the first-team.
After loan spells away at Southend United and Colchester United, Kamara left Arsenal permanently in the summer of 2017, signing for Scottish club Dundee FC. The 25-year-old Finnish midfielder rose to prominence with the club and was picked up by Steven Gerrard’s Rangers in the winter transfer window of 2019.
During his two-and-a-half-year stay at the Ibrox Stadium, Kamara has developed into one of the best midfielders on show in the Scottish Premiership. The Finland star played an integral role in the Gers’ title victory last season as he racked up over 50 appearances in all competitions, scoring and assisting a couple of goals apiece. (h/t Transfermarkt)
However, Kamara’s time at the Ibrox Stadium could be drawing towards a close, with Everton joining a number of other clubs in pursuit of the ex-Arsenal youngster. Indeed, the likes of Watford and Brentford have already shown an interest in the 25-year-old while an unnamed Russian club is also keen, with the Toffees also joining the bandwagon.

Given how important Kamara has been for Rangers in his time at the club, his potential departure would come as a blow. However, with his contract expiring in two years and with so many teams interested, this also represents the Gers best chance of making good money from his sale, which they can reinvest in the squad.
With a transfer fee of £15m being mentioned, the Light Blues could stand to make a massive profit, having signed him for a measly £50k in 2019.
