Promoted German Club Interested In Southampton Defender
According to reports in Germany, promoted German giants Hamburg SV are interested in buying Armel Bella-Kotchap, initially the defender looked like a great buy, but injury hit and he has played just once for Saints in the last two years.
football league world.co.uk are quoting German football media as saying that Armel Bella-Kotchap is wanted by Hamburg who have finally got back into the top flight of German football after around half a decade in the Bundesliga 2.
They say that Bella-Kotchap wishes to return to Germany and the Bundesliga.
But the report also states that Hamburg aren’t the only club interested in signing the defender, Werner Bremen & Borussia Monchengladbach are also said to be hovering in the back ground and that will be good news for Saints as it could spark a bidding war.
It is said that Hamburg hope to secure his services for around £8.6 million or €10 million in German money.
It will be a pity to see ABK depart St Mary’s, he has the potential to be the best out of all the current central defenders on the books, for some reason neither Russell Martin, Ivan Juric or Simon Rusk seemed to rate him and he spent most of the season at best warming the bench.
If the £8.6 million is achieved then it will mean that Saints have roughly got their money back and their only real loss will be his wages for the season just gone where we paid him basically to train.
