Eddie Howe was asked about the Miguel Almiron situation on Friday, during his pre-Southampton press conference – Friday 24 January:
“I think Miggy’s head has been very, very solidly here.
“He has been brilliant in training this week.
“I have seen not one moment where I thought, oh, I need to address this, or speak to him, or have a deeper conversation.
“I think we are both aware of the situation.
“Yes, there is interest in him from other clubs.
“There is potential, a chance he could leave before the window closes, but until that moment and if that moment never arrives, he’s still a valuable member of the squad.
“We love him to bits.
“He has got a great energy and character that has never changed for a second.
“He has been the ultimate professional and let’s see what happens.”
