Southampton Targets Brighton’s Jason Steele Amid Goalkeeper Crisis

Southampton are planning to secure Brighton goalkeeper Jason Steele to address their goalkeeping concerns.

TEAMtalk exclusively reveals that despite re-signing veteran Alex McCarthy the Saints need a reliable No. 1 due to Gavin Bazunu’s long-term Achilles injury which will sideline him until 2025.

McCarthy performed admirably in the latter part of last season but manager Russell Martin seeks to strengthen the squad’s goalkeeping options.

Steele known for his skill with the ball and his ability to play out from the back fits Martin’s requirements perfectly. His experience at Brighton, where he has demonstrated excellent composure and distribution makes him an ideal candidate for Southampton’s playing style.
