Could one of Southampton's promotion rivals be tempted by a move for Aaron Ramsdale?
Daniel Peretz has caught the eye with his performances as Southampton's main goalkeeper in recent weeks.
The dramatic 3-2 win away at West Ham United was secured last month courtesy of the Saints' attacking brilliance, but also through Peretz being alert and agile across the hectic 90 minutes, as the ex-Bayern Munich stopper pulled off a whopping 11 saves come the full-time whistle.
He also collected a clean sheet in the South Coast Derby in early October, despite the South Coast side being reduced to ten men for all of the second 45 minutes.
Safe to say, the 26-year-old continues to shine as Tonda Eckert's first-choice 'keeper, as Aaron Ramsdale finds himself locked in a constant state of limbo at St. Mary's, in stark contrast.
Surely, the ex-Arsenal stopper will finally move away from the South Coast this January, as several clubs continue to be suggested as next plausible destinations for the forgotten 28-year-old.
Where could Ramsdale move to?
Football League World highlighted that both Norwich City and Wolverhampton Wanderers could be two great moves for Ramsdale to revitalise his waning career, when speculating on his Saints situation last month.
Norwich have conceded goals for fun in Championship so far this season, with 24 goals given up across 15 league clashes to date, so Ramsdale could swoop in to tighten up the Canaries' defence.
Jose Sa has stepped up in recent matches for the Old Gold, on the other hand, with a Peretz-style showing against Cardiff City in late October standing out, as he amassed nine big saves to help Wolves beat the Bluebirds 3-0.
Instead of eyeing up a move to Molineux, the ex-England international should look to another relegated Premier League outfit in the aforementioned West Ham, who have just started a new era under Scott Parker.
Parker has already been slapped in the face with the gravity of the job, after seeing the Hammers draw 3-3 with Cardiff, and then lose 2-1 to Blackburn Rovers, in his first two Championship matches as manager.
Mads Hermansen has been criticised heavily during this dip in form, with 11 goals given up across his last four outings in the punishing second tier.
West Ham-focused writer Mark Carlaw has even gone as far as to say that the ex-Leicester City figure is "one of the worst goalkeepers we have ever had".
Ramsdale would fancy his chances of taking the number one jersey off the shaky Dane if he moved to the London Stadium, therefore, with the reserve 'keeper no stranger to calling London home.
He could tempted by a switch to West Ham
It would be interesting to see if the Saints would be willing to do business with West Ham, who they will view as a serious promotion rival, even if they're currently in a rough patch of form.
West Ham would be able to accommodate Ramsdale's hefty wage, you imagine, and if it means he's finally off their books, beggars might not be able to be choosers.
With Hermansen being so off-colour, as well, Ramsdale would fancy his chances of first-team football greeting him on his arrival to East London.
At the end of the day, when he gets going, the 28-year-old has plenty of upsides, with 42 Premier League clean sheets next to his name.
West Ham want to reenter the Premier League at the first time of asking, with Southampton another club stuck in the hustle and bustle of the second tier, wanting to break out of the competitive division, too.
With or without Ramsdale, Eckert will firmly believe his troops can reach the big time come next May, with Peretz also proven at a top level when previously playing for Bayern.
