In England, the "Southampton" club, which has performed well this season, continues to work actively in the player transfer window. It is announced on the official website that Lisbon's "Sporting" defender Cedric Soares has joined their team.
It is reported that the 23-year-old right-back defender for the Portuguese national team has signed a four-year contract with "Southampton."
It is believed that C. Soares will replace Nathaniel Clyne, as the Englishman is likely to move to "Manchester United."
"I came to this club because I believe that with each passing year we can achieve more," - said the Portuguese after arriving in England, having played over 30 matches this season for "Sporting."
The Berlin club "Hertha" also received reinforcement. It is reported on the official website that a three-year contract has been signed with the young right-back defender from Munich "Bayern," Mitchell Weiser.
The 21-year-old German arrived in Munich in 2012, but he failed to establish himself in the main lineup in any season.
"Weiser is a young and promising footballer. He can cause a lot of problems for opponents with his speed on the right flank," said the general director of "Hertha" club Michael Preetz on the club's website.
This season, the young footballer played 15 matches for "Bayern" and scored one goal.
The representatives of the French "Ligue 1" are also strengthening their ranks. "Marseille" officially announced that they have completed negotiations with "Nantes" for the acquisition of the defender Georges-Kevin N'Koudou.
The 20-year-old player became an important part of the "Nantes" team in the 2013-14 season. The young Frenchman did not go unnoticed by his country's giants and will wear the "Marseille" jersey in the next season.
It is said that G-K. N'Koudou will sign a five-year contract with the champions of "Ligue 1."
"Nantes" thanks "GK" and wishes him a successful career," - stated in an official statement of the "Nantes" club.
Playing in the position of a right-back defender, the Frenchman played 32 matches this season and scored two goals.
