Maxwel Cornet - Swaps London for Southampton Cornet has signed for Southampton on a season-long loan from West Ham.
Noel Buck - Loaned to Southampton Buck has been loaned to Southampton until January 31, 2025 with an option for the English side to purchase the player on a permanent basis.

Ryan Fraser - Signs with Saints Fraser signed with Southampton on a permanent deal from Newcastle, the club announced.
Impact Fraser made a permanent move to Southampton after departing Newcastle. The attacking midfielder wasn't a major contributor with Newcastle, but should provide some more depth with Saints. He still may struggle for consistent starts though.
AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Ramsdale - Joins Southampton Ramsdale completed a transfer to Southampton from Arsenal, the club announced.
Impact Ramsdale joins Southampton on a four-year contract. The goalkeeper should immediately take over as the starter with Saints, at least while Gavin Bazunu (Achilles) is sidelined. Alex McCarthy should fall to the bench in the meantime. Ramsdale had two strong seasons with Arsenal before being displaced by David Raya in North London.

Adam Lallana - Returns in cup Lallana came off the bench during the second half of Wednesday's 5-3 win over Cardiff.
Impact Lallana returned from a knock that sidelined him for the opening two matches, coming off the bench in the second half. The veteran midfielder is likely to only be a depth option for Southampton in the twilight of his career. Lallana will likely continue in that rotational role in all competitions.

Jan Bednarek - Fastidious defensive performance Bednarek generated one tackle (zero won) and four clearances in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 82nd minute.
Impact Bednarek led Southampton's defensive effort with four clearances, but his effort proved inconsequential, as the Saints fell 1 - 0 to Nottingham Forest. After playing a key role over 45 appearances (42 starts) at the heart of the Southampton backline during their promotion form the Championship, Bednarek has started in each of Southampton's firs two matches of their return season to the Premier League.

Flynn Downes - Team-high in tackles Downes had four tackles (one won), two clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 29th minu...
Impact Downes led Southampton with four tackles (one won) Saturday as they fell 1 - 0 to Nottingham Forest. The young midfielder has been a stalwart fixture in the Southampton midfield to begin the 2024 - 2025 campaign, playing every minute for the Saints through two matches and creating four chances while maintaining his defensive solidity.
AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Walker-Peters - Attempts three shots Walker-Peters had three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Nottingham Forest.
Impact Walker-Peters led Southampton on Saturday with three shots attempted (one on target) as Southampton fell 1 - 0 to Nottingham Forest. During the previous Championship campaign in which Southampton earned promotion, Walker-Peters averaged less than one shot attempted per appearance (40 shots over 46 starting appearances). Through two starting appearances in the 2024 -2024 Premier League, Walker-Peters has attempted five shots (one on target). He has also attempted a corner and cross in each match.
AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE
Alex McCarthy - Stands tall in loss McCarthy made seven saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Nottingham Forest.
Impact McCarthy was kept on his toes Saturday, turning aside seven of eight shots on target as Southampton fell 1 - 0 at the hands of Nottingham Forest. The saves were McCarthy's first of the campaign, after failing to save the lone shot on target during Southampton's opening match. The veteran keeper looks to have laid claim to the number one keeper's gloves at Southampton and should find himself between the sticks as Southampton head to London to square-off against Brentford next Saturday.
AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE
Mateus Fernandes - Joins Southampton Fernandes has agreed on a five year deal with Southampton from Sporting CP.
Impact Fernandes has been part of the Sporting CP organization since 2021, having only made eight senior appearances with the side. He spent last season on loan with Estoril in Portugal, making 25 appearances while scoring once. The midfielder is set to bring depth to the Saints' midfielder as he could also be an option to het starts once he is settled in.

William Smallbone - Whips 12 crosses Smallbone recorded four shots (one on goal), 12 crosses (zero accurate) and 10 corners in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Newcastle United.
Impact Smallbone opened his debut back to the PL with a bang, launching 12 crosses during the loss Saturday. He was a pivotal part of the midfield line for the Saint last season, scoring seven times with four assists while averaging about two crosses per game in 46 appearances.

Adam Armstrong - Solid effort Armstrong recorded five shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus Newcastle United.
Impact Armstrong had the best chances for Southampton on Saturday, making five shots during the 1-0 loss to Newcastle. He was stellar during the team's promotion back to the PL, recording 24 goals and 13 assists in 49 matches that prompted the Saints to sign him to three extra years. However, the forward is still looking for better success at the top flight of English football, only recording four goals with three assists in 54 appearances since 2021.
AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE
Alex McCarthy - Takes loss Saturday McCarthy made no saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus Newcastle United.
Impact McCarthy did not make a single saves as he saw one go during the opening match of the season to Newcastle. He did not see much time on the pitch last campaign in the EFL, having appeared just eight times for the Saints. Nevertheless, the veteran keeper has been with the side since 2016, making a total of 125 PL appearances over seven seasons. His next opponent will be against Nottingham Forest on Aug 24, who had averaged just under a goal per contest last in 2023/24.

Lesley Ugochukwu - Loaned to Southampton Ugochukwu has signed for Southampton on a season-long loan from Chelsea.
Impact Ugochukwu makes the switch to the newly promoted side after making just 12 appearances for Chelsea last campaign. Ugochukwu's path to playing time is much easier at Southampton than it was with Chelsea, making him a candidate to secure a role in the Saints' midfield sooner rather than later.

Cameron Archer - Signs with Southampton Archer has transferred to Southampton from Aston Villa, his new club confirmed.
Impact Archer has departed Aston Villa after serving last campaign on loan with Sheffield, having been moved to another Premier League club in Southampton. He was decent in the past season, starting in 21 of his 29 appearances while notching four goals on 42 shots and one assist on 24 chances created. He is a true No. 9 who should see plenty of field time this season, possibly fighting for a starting role immediately after joining the club.

Ross Stewart - Working on fitness Stewart is "nearly back in contention" but will not make the trip to Newcastle on Saturday, said manager Russell Martin.
Impact Stewart missed most of the 2023/24 season with a muscle injury, resulting in just four appearances. He will start the new campaign in the PL on the sidelines with another injury, which will likely limit his time on the pitch unless he can improve his fitness and form for the Saints.
AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Lallana - Sidelined for opener Lallana is close, but will not be enough for Saturday's trip to Newcastle, per manager Russell Martin, "they're [Lallana] in a really good place."
Impact Lallana's debut with the Saints will have to wait after starting the season on the sidelines through injury. He is bringing a veteran presence to the team as he could see valuable minutes on the team once fit. The midfielder recorded 13 starts in 25 appearances with Brighton last campaign, totaling an assist with 15 chances created.
AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE
Kamaldeen Sulemana - Nearly fit Sulemana (ankle) is "nearly fit" but will not be an option for Saturday's trip to Newcastle, according to manager Russell Martin.
Impact Sulemana is set to start the new campaign on the sidelines following his ankle injury picked up during preseason. He was used as a rotational role last season in the Championship and is expected to keep that same role, totaling three assists while making 10 starts in 25 appearances last season.
AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE
Sekou Mara - Active in friendly Mara (ankle) played 72 minutes during Wednesday's friendly clash.
Impact Mara came off with a knock earlier in pre-season but seemingly recovered quickly as he only missed one friendly. The forward's role is one to watch early in the Premier League season, though he's likely to remain a bench option as he did in the Championship. With limited minutes it's hard to project much upside against stiffer competition.
