The Watford midfielder Southampton 'could look to sign' after Tonda Eckert confirmation | OneFootball

Tonda Eckert said "Yes" when asked if Southampton will sign a replacement for Shea Charles this summer, following the midfielder's move to Fulham.

Southampton open their Championship campaign at Watford, where they have not lost since 2007, when Darius Henderson's double secured a 3-2 home win. According to the Daily Echo, Watford's Imran Louza is among the options being considered.

He could feature against the Saints on Sunday for Alessio Dionisi's side.

Louza, 27, has also been linked with Paris FC. Last season in the second tier he registered seven goals and nine assists, averaged 88% passing accuracy per league match, and won 3.9 duels on average.

Tom Cleverley previously rated him among the division's best midfielders. Rennes' Jordan James has also been mentioned, but securing Louza would be a statement addition if Southampton move.
