Albert Gronbaek could make his Southampton debut against Newcastle in the Premier League this weekend Premier League strugglers Southampton have signed Denmark international midfielder Albert Gronbaek on loan. The 23-year-old, who has six senior Danish caps, moves to St Mary's from Ligue 1 club Rennes. Gronbaek will spend the remainder of the 2024-25 season at Southampton, subject to international clearance. He told the club website, external: "I'm just so excited. It's a big club and I think the playing style is suiting me very well, so I'm just very pleased to be here. "The facilities are very good and the stadium looks incredible. It's even bigger and better when you come in person, so I'm just so excited to play there. I'm proud to be here. " Gronbaek only joined Rennes from Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt last summer in a 12m euros deal (£10m), but scored just two goals in 18 appearances for the French side. He becomes the second player to join Southampton in this transfer window, following the confirmation of Brazilian defender Welington's arrival from Sao Paulo. But the pair face a tough ask to help drag Ivan Juric's side out of danger as they sit bottom of the Premier League. Southampton have just six points from their first 22 league games and are 10 points from safety.
