Southampton transfer ratings: all eight summer signings ranked from best to worst | OneFootball

Southampton have been busy this summer, adding eight signings. With four Championship games gone, an early assessment ranks them from best to worst.

According to Sainstmarching.com, Cyle Larin tops the list with 9/10 after re-signing for £3m. He has four Championship goals, including a volley at Millwall, and could contend for the golden boot if he sustains this pace.

Daniel Peretz scores 8/10. The £6m goalkeeper kept eight clean sheets in 24 last season and has one so far, despite some calls for Aaron Ramsdale.

James Ward-Prowse also gets 8/10 after a late return. The club icon, signed for £800k, was bright at Birmingham. Keven Schlotterbeck, £3m, is another 8/10 after an assured debut and an early goal.

Loan striker Divin Mubama is rated 7/10. The Manchester City prospect hit 16 for their U21s in 2024/25 and scored after 12 minutes against Stoke, though he had only five touches at Birmingham.

Deadline-day loanee Zach Abbott receives 7/10, the Nottingham Forest defender adding versatility after links to David Affengruber ended with a Fulham move. George Long is 5/10, a free returnee who played once last season.

Lewis Dobbin sits bottom at 4/10. Signed for £9m, he excelled in pre-season but has no goals or assists from 87 minutes and currently trails Leo Scienza on the left, though it remains early days.
