Daniel Peretz Honored by The Guardian Following Southampton Success
Daniel Peretz received high praise from the Guardian as a key £6M signing for Southampton, helping the club recover following a past scandal.
Daniel Peretz continues to solidify his status at Southampton, receiving high praise from the Guardian. In an article discussing the club's situation following a scouting scandal that shook them at the end of last season, the Israeli goalkeeper was highlighted as one of the key signings that helped the club recover athletically.
"The scandal did not deter the summer recruits," it read. "Goalkeeper Daniel Peretz was a £6 million bargain from Bayern Munich, agreeing to make his loan permanent after playing through the storm." The Guardian also mentioned Cyle Larin and James Ward-Prowse as part of the moves that helped Southampton build a squad capable of fighting for promotion.
The compliments come a day after Peretz played the full 90 minutes in a 4-1 victory over Bristol City. The Israeli conceded once, but made four saves and received a 7.2 rating on the Match Calendar website.
Peretz arrived at Southampton on loan from Bayern last January, and after a successful half-season, signed a four-year contract in June. During his loan spell, he played in every single one of the 21 league matches in which the team went unbeaten, keeping eight clean sheets before the club decided to purchase him permanently.
