Southampton ‘to monitor’ Wojciech Mońka before January | OneFootball

Southampton remain without a league clean sheet this season after a late 1-1 at Lincoln City underlined recurring issues. According to On the Minute, Southampton, alongside Sunderland, are keeping tabs on Lech Poznan defender Wojciech Mońka with January in mind.

At Sincil Bank, Welington, in for Ryan Manning, smashed his first Saints goal on 44 minutes to open the scoring. Nathan Wood entered with six minutes of normal time left and Mikkel Ladefoged then found the space to head the equaliser.

Without Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Tonda Eckert's back line looked shaky and the draw exposed poor performances. Keven Schlotterbeck was composed, winning seven duels against a physical opponent. Jack Stephens was less secure in the air, winning only three aerials.

Daniel Peretz, so reliable for Championship shutouts last season after arriving on loan from Bayern Munich, is still waiting for his first league clean sheet of the campaign.

With Zach Abbott now available and Swansea City up next, Eckert faces a call on his centre-back pairing. Mońka is viewed as a longer-term project, aligning with Abbott being a season-long loan back-up. The 19-year-old logged six league clean sheets in 19 matches with 91% pass accuracy last season, but any January move remains unconfirmed.
