Southampton nears Keven Schlotterbeck signing and eyes Henrik Falchener

Southampton FC transfer news Keven Schlotterbeck Henrik Falchener Championship

Southampton is expected to finalize a permanent transfer for center-back Keven Schlotterbeck from Bundesliga club FC Augsburg. The deal is reportedly valued at approximately €4.5m (£3.85m) and is in its final stages. Schlotterbeck, a former Augsburg captain, is expected to arrive in England this Wednesday to bolster the Saints' defensive options.

In addition to the Schlotterbeck deal, Southampton is reportedly interested in Norwegian defender Henrik Falchener from Viking FK. The club may enter a bidding war with Wrexham, who has reportedly made an offer of around €9.1m for the player. Viking FK may be reluctant to sell due to their recent qualification for the Champions League group stage.
