    Yep, could be a real bargain. Very energetic, attack minded full back so we'll be able to attack down both flanks effectively.

    It is indeed, and Lundekvam made the cut at right back.

    I thought this was a joke until I went on wiki to see what Jose was up to. Amazing he’s still playing at that level at 37.
    Makes our decision not to give him a longer contract so much worse.

    Southampton are closing in on the signing of Stade Brest defender Romain Perraud.

    The Athletic understands the St Mary’s side have agreed on a fee with the Ligue 1 team and have also agreed to personal terms with the 23-year-old. Everything is in place for the deal to go ahead and be signed off at the beginning of July, which is when the new financial year starts.

    Sources have toldThe Athletic the only way a move falls through at this stage is if the player’s medical isn’t satisfactory or if another team makes a late attempt and blowsSouthampton’s offer out of the water.

    Fellow Premier League sides Newcastle, West Ham and Leeds have all been tracking the highly-rated defender but manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has met with the left-back and it’s understood that Perraud has made it clear he wants to sign for the south-coast side.

    Hasenhuttl makes a point of meeting potential new arrivals, and how they come across during the conversation is a crucial part of the decision-making process. Perraud will already know St Mary’s midfielder Ibrahima Diallo from their time together at Stade Brest.

    Should this deal go through, Perraud will become the club’s second signing of the summer after they turned Theo Walcott’s loan move into a permanent one,with the 32-year-old penning a two-year contract. The club are prioritising strengthening their defence this summer, which became even more pertinent when it was announcedRyan Bertrand would be leaving once his contract expires this week.
