It is suggested that Southampton would be willing to sell 24-year-old Irish international Gavin Bazunu this summer, with a potential move to Leicester City possible if Russell Martin is appointed as the new manager. Martin has a history of signing players from his former clubs, and with reports indicating Leicester may need a new goalkeeper if Jakub Stolarczyk leaves, Bazunu is mentioned as a potential target. The goalkeeper arguably excelled under Martin's management at Southampton but is no longer preferred, having been sent on loan to Stoke City mid-way through the 2025/26 season, which could make Southampton open to a sale. Bazunu, who has 22 caps for Ireland, joined Southampton in July 2022 and his contract runs until 2027. He made 25 appearances in the Championship during the 2025/2026 season and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €8.00m.
