Southampton could regret selling Sam Edozie amid enquiries from Paderborn and FC Copenhagen | OneFootball

Southampton are fielding enquiries for Sam Edozie, with Paderborn and FC Copenhagen among the clubs to make contact, according to Sainstmarching.com. The 23-year-old has one year left on his deal, and there are no bids at this stage.

Paderborn, freshly back in the Bundesliga, have asked the question. Copenhagen can offer Conference League football, while several Championship sides are monitoring from afar.

Edozie retains the Manchester City academy pedigree but barely featured until February last season. He managed only two Championship starts, totalling 295 minutes, with zero goals and two assists.

His Anderlecht loan offered a clearer sample, eight goal contributions in the Belgian top flight when trusted to play every week, showing what he can deliver with regular minutes.

The wings are crowded after Lewis Dobbin’s summer arrival, which offers cover across the front line. Edozie has slipped behind Scienza, Fellows and the new signing, though he can operate at pace on either flank.

He has not sounded eager to depart, describing last season as difficult and vowing to be ready for the new campaign.

Verdict: 3/5. A sensible fee could suit the depth out wide, but it would be selling low on a player the club rate. Likelihood: 2/5, interest appears at an early stage.
