Southampton have been busy so far in the summer transfer window, with changes in the dugout as well as the dressing room, at St Mary’s.
In the wake of relegation from the Premier League last season, Will Still was appointed by Southampton to lead the club’s search for instant promotion from the Championship.
Still, whose Sunderland move fell through last summer before Regis Le Bris was appointed, led RC Lens to a respectable eighth-placed finish in the French top flight during his first season at the club.
The summer transfer window will be imperative for Southampton, and the Saints have been linked with several targets of late.
Here, EFL Analysis runs through all the incomings and outgoings at Southampton so far this summer, and the latest Saints transfer rumours.
Every confirmed Southampton signing this summer
Southampton have been tipped as promotion contenders in the early predictions for 2025/26 Championship, and have made a positive start towards that trajectory in the summer window with the acquisition of Joshua Quarshie.
The 20-year-old arrived from Hoffenheim earlier in June for a fee in the region of £3.5m, seeing Still’s first summer signing at Southampton pen a four-year deal.
Centre-back Quarshie spent last season on loan at Greuther Furth from Hoffenheim. Southampton technical director Johannes Spors told the club: “His outstanding athleticism makes him a natural fit for the energetic playing style our new manager hopes to implement.”
Players Southampton have signed this summer:
- Joshua Quarshie, around £3.5m, from Hoffenheim
Every confirmed Southampton departure so far in transfer window
So far Southampton have been more concerned with departures, rather than incomings, with four recognised stars departing.
Veterans Kyle Walker-Peters, Adam Lallana and Joe Lumley all departed upon the expiry of their contracts, with young winger Samuel Amo-Ameyaw joining Ligue 1 side Strasbourg permanently after his loan spell for a fee estimated to be in the region of £6m according to transfermarkt.
As well as those four, loanees Lesley Ugochukwu and Albert Gronbaek return to Chelsea and Stade Rennais respectively.
Players that have left Southampton so far this summer:
- Samuel Amo-Ameyaw to Strasbourg for around £6m
- Kyle Walker-Peters, released
- Adam Lallana, released
- Joe Lumley, released
Aside from those confirmed departures, there have been ample rumours circulating about the next incomings and outgoings at Southampton.
