Voetbal International saying the fee is €7m

BBC saying we backed out of our pursuit of Max Aarons because AFCB wanted £10m+ and we'd rather spend on Sagawara in that case

Can't say I am too gutted. The cynic in me wonders if Sao Paulo are the ones who have been feeding the press re: Saints to smoke Torino out

Something other than the personal terms, presumably

Translation: The @SouthamptonFC has already had the medical examinations carried out by #Welington of the @SaoPauloFC. But the @TorinoFC_1906 still hopes to prevail

Bobby De Cordova-Reid has decided to sign for Leicester

JRM gone

Labour now at 326 seats, meaning they've officially secured an outright win in this GE

Rishi Sunak concedes (well, yeah) and says he has already phoned Keir Starmer to congratulate him and wish him well

Coffey, Jenkyns and Keegan gone

Reform's MPs: Nigel Farage, Lee Anderson, Rupert Lowe Pretty surreal to see RL up there as their headline trio

Rupert Lowe projected to be voted in as MP for Great Yarmouth

If he rated him so much, why didn't he make a bid for him then? FFS

New contract announced

O'yes.

Latest from Sky Sports' Lyall Thomas and Mark McAdam: Southampton have approached Bournemouth for talks over a deal for Max Aarons. The Saints want to sign Aarons as their new right-back amid uncertainty over the future of Kyle Walker-Peters. West Ham have held talks for Walker-Peters amid Saints' interest in signing their midfield Flynn Downes. But there is also interest in Walker-Peters from Brighton and Tottenham. Southampton are looking to strengthen their squad with Premier League know-how after promotion and want to maintain a core group of English players. They see Aarons, who made 20 Premier League appearances last season, as an ideal addition after the signings of Adam Lallana and Charlie Taylor. Other clubs from abroad have also made inquiries with Bournemouth for Aarons.

Definitely sounds like succession planning for KWP not renewing
