Andre Carrillo – Sporting Lisbon 

With Sadio Mané likely to become another Saint to make a big money exit this summer, with over £30m set to be spent on the Senegalese star by Manchester United or Chelsea.

But the winger’s replacement could cost Southampton not a single penny in transfer fees: Carrillo has earned a fabulous reputation in Portugal since joining capital club Sporting from his native Peru’s own capital club, Alianza Lima.

Yet despite his ability, the speedy Peruvian has been frozen out by Jorge Jesus’ side by Sporting’s bullish owner Bruno De Carvalho and is set to leave the Alvalade upon expiry of his contract this summer. Linking up with former team mate Cedric, Sporting’s loss could well become Southampton’s gain.
