Former Premier League stalwart, Jose Fonte, is rumored to be gearing up for a sensational return to English football.

After departing Southampton, Fonte had stints at West Ham United, China‘s Dalian Yifang, and a successful spell in France with Lille, where he lifted the Ligue 1 title and the Trophee des Champions in 2021.
Currently plying his trade in Portugal with Braga under manager Daniel Sousa, Fonte’s return to the English game could be on the horizon.

Fonte expressed his delight at Southampton’s return, emphasizing the club’s rightful place in the Premier League and commending Martin’s impactful leadership.
The veteran defender lauded the fans’ support and the team’s performance, underscoring the importance of Southampton’s presence in the top tier of English football.
