Southampton monitoring American star Lee Nguyen

Nguyen is most certainly not a well known name to fans in England and such links are certainly a surprise. However, the midfielder, who plies his trade for New England Revolution, has arguably been one of the best players in the MLS over the past few years. The current campaign has been a fruitful one for Nguyen in particular as the midfielder has managed an impressive 18 goals in just 32 appearances. As a result, a host of European clubs have registered their interest in the 28-year old and now Southampton have also said to have entered the race in an attempt to secure the services of the midfielder. Nguyen had a trail at Arsenal earlier on in his career and American international would most certainly be open to a move to Europe during the prime of his career. It remains to be seen whether the transfer does come into fruition as the strict work permit regulations in England might scupper the potential move but if indeed it does take place, Nguyen could prove to be another good signing for Koeman.
