The fact that Southampton is rumored to be interested in hiring a goalkeeper is not surprising given that Gavin Bazunu sustained a serious injury earlier this month.
The Ireland international hurt his Achilles during the Saints’ pregame warm-up against Preston North End, so he will be out for a while.
Their other goalkeeping possibilities are Alex McCarthy and Joe Lumley, but Lumley’s future is uncertain because his contract expires in the summer.
After this weekend’s regular season concludes, Martin’s team will likely compete in the play-offs, therefore Southampton’s remaining transfer business will probably rely on the team’s league standing.
Pentz might be a wise addition to Southampton.
Martin had to deal with a difficult injury to Bazunu, which might seriously hurt their prospects of making the playoffs.
Martin is a huge fan of Bazunu, so the interest in Pentz indicates how long the 22-year-old might be gone.
The Leverkusen goalie has performed admirably in Denmark and has contributed to Brondby’s ascent to a title contender.
Joe Hart’s upcoming retirement means that Celtic will also need a goalkeeper. Additionally, PSV will be playing in the Champions League the following season, so the Saints will have fierce competition for Hart’s services this summer.
