"Southampton Football Club are in a transfer battle for one of the the highly rated West Bromwich Albion Football Club centre forwards."

Geoff Horsfield is being mentioned as a potential target for Southampton boss Harry Redknapp. Horsfield may be allowed to leave West Brom this summer as boss Bryan Robson continues to rebuild at The Hawthorns and is interesting a number of clubs. The 31-year-old has an excellent record at Championship level and would be an ideal replacement for Peter Crouch if the England man does leave St Mary's this summer. Preston North End, Crystal Palace and Cardiff City are all being linked with Horsfield in addition to the Saints. Geoff Horsfield could be an ideal swap for Crystal Palace striker Andrew Johnson. He has already been linked with a number of clubs and is one to look out for in the Baggies transfer trail.
