Ex-Premier League midfielder predicts Saints to 'struggle' under Still
FORMER Premier League midfielder David Dunn has predicted Saints will struggle in the Championship under new boss Will Still. Dunn, a one-time England international, believes new Southampton boss Still faces a real challenge in charge of the recently relegated side. Advertisement Saints are currently the second-favourites to win promotion from the Championship, behind Ipswich, who won 10 points more than them in the Premier League last season. Speaking to OLGB, Dunn said: 'I watched him on Monday Night Football a couple of months ago. He came across well. I think he's done well in his previous job. Will Still cut his teeth in Belgium before making a new for himself in French football. (Image: Southampton FC) READ: Saints fans are right to be excited about Edwards following QPR loan "But again, English football is totally different. I think it's going to be a real challenge, if I'm being honest. Advertisement "He's got to get a real buy-in early doors from the group. I think it's going to be tough. I think Southampton could struggle.' Saints won just 12 points in the Premier League last season, cycling through two managers before appointing Simon Rusk in interim charge until the end of the season. Belgian-born Still has never worked in English senior football, but joins Saints after guiding Lens to an eighth-place finish last season, missing out on Europe by five points. The 32 year old, who has signed a three-year deal, has set out to win promotion in his first season at the club.

Manchester City open to letting Ilkay Gündogan join Galatasaray
Galatasaray are considering a move for Ilkay Gündogan, with Manchester City open to a transfer for the 34-year-old midfielder. The Turkish club are believed to have inquired about Gündogan's availability in the winter window but City did not want him to leave midway through the season. But with Pep Guardiola having signed Nico González in February and Tijjani Reijnders in this window, with Rodri again fit after a serious knee injury and Mateo Kovacic expected back from an achilles problem in mid-September, game time for Gündogan may be limited. Advertisement Related: Manchester City fined £1m by Premier League over delayed kick-offs and restarts Although the one-year extension on Gündogan's contract was triggered towards the end of last season after he played a certain number of minutes, he may be allowed to leave without a fee. The German, whose parents were born in Turkey, is believed to have a desire to play for Galatasaray, the Super Lig champions. The former Germany international, who turns 35 in October, suggested he still had much to offer. 'There seems to be a trend at the moment in football where people are saying: 'This player is too old,' or: 'Another one cannot run any more.' But we always have had this in football. 'You need experienced players on the pitch. I know that when I was 18 or 19 I was looking up to those experienced players. Just by watching what they did – and how they did it – I learned. It wasn't always necessary for them to say anything. All young players need some experience around them. Sometimes you don't have to work harder but work smarter.'
